DESPATCH or 6TH DIVISION OVERSEAS

The following decisions were taken by the Full Cabinet:-

(i) The 6th Division, which was raised for service at home or
abroad as occasion required, can be permitted to proceed overseas
when it has reached a suitable stage in its training, which it is
anticipated will be early in the new year.

(ii) The Government is averse to shipment of artillery or any
other material needed for the maintenance of the Militia Forces
unless it is capable of rapid replacement.

(iii) In view of the reasons which decided the reversal of the
decision to despatch the Air Expeditionary Force, the despatch of
an Army Co-operation Squadron was not approved.
