The High Command in India: Report of a Committee set up by H.E. the Commander-in-Chief in India, 1946. By the Reorganization Committee (India), comprising Lt.-Gen. H.B.D. Willcox (Chairman), Commander A.B. Goord, Royal Indian Navy, Brigadier W.G.S. Thompson, Indian Army, Brigadier P.N. Thapar, Indian Army, Air Commodore E.J. Kingston McCloughry, RAF. The recommendations are based on Auchinleck's proposal that the best future organization of the Higher Command of the three Services in India would be provided by a Supreme Command and integrated staff, and by the constitution of three separate Service HQs, each commanded by an independent Commander-in-Chief but working under the command of the Supreme Commander. Implicit in the report are the assumptions that India remains part of the British Commonwealth, and that she remains united, at least as far as defence is concerned. Printed, with autograph marginal comments by Auchinleck.
