It has been nearly a year since I posted excerpts from Churchill’s history. I will endeavor to get back on track with that. This one is short so I will transcribe - HJS.

Prime Minister to C.I.G.S [Chief of the Imperial General Staff], 25 Nov 42

Are we not dispersing the Desert Army rather rapidly? If the 9th Australian and 2nd New Zealand Divisions leave, and now two South Africans, and then there is to be cannibalization, what is going to be left? It seems to me that we have got to think of the whole picture in relation to the next six months. Please report. I am disquieted.
