Prime Minister to General Ismay, for C.O.S. Committee 7 Mar 45

I thought the Polish divisions in Italy had been equipped with British equipment. Is there no more of this available? It would at any rate be desirable to begin the equipment of these two extra Polish units, and for this purpose we should not hesitate to draw upon reserves.

2. In regard to the exact scale of equipment, a considerable tolerance should be allowed. No rigid rule should apply to formations which will be useful and necessary as the war draws to a close but which may not have to sustain its brunt. The use of these Polish units in occupying Germany will take the strain off our man-power, which will be of great importance to us in the period immediately following the collapse of Germany. For this purpose they would not require the equipment, transport, etc., which has been deemed necessary to full combat readiness.
