Scope and Content

Notes by Lt.-Gen. T.W. [Thomas] Corbett on the Chief of the Imperial General Staff's letter (AUC/852 above), with comments on Sir Alan Brooke's lack of knowledge of their plans for the Persian Gulf, on the exceptional status of the Dominions warranting the promotion of [Maj.-Gen. Bernard] Freyberg and [Maj.-Gen. Leslie] Morshead, and on the grossly unfair impression that Auchinleck is taking cover behind the cloak of the Middle East Defence Committee. Holograph.
