Cipher message no. CS/557 from Auchinleck to Field Marshal Smuts, asserting that he is correct in his theories (AUC/608 above) relating to the armament of the 8th Army tanks, and that the armour itself appears to be satisfactory, although it is under investigation. With a manuscript note (in the hand of Alexander Galloway?), indicating that the armour was not under criticism unlike the gunpower and other technical aspects of the tank. With a second copy of the cipher message (AUC/608 above) from Smuts. Typescript and holograph.
