Letter from Lt.-Gen. N.M. [Neil] Ritchie to Auchinleck, stating that he is aware of the need to resume the offensive as soon as possible, but that replacements in armour are not coming through as quickly as they should; recognizing the importance of wresting from the enemy the initiative he is now starting to exercise; and reporting that he has decided first to crush the enemy in the 'Cauldron' (the area between the Sidra and Aslagh Ridges), and that he is also investigating the possibility of using a raiding force to threaten the Martuba and Derna landing grounds. Typescript, signed.
