These operations were u prelude to reater struggles with our principal enemy.
British Supplies |
Our situation in June, 1940, after Dunkirke, was unenviable. Fortunato ly part of our expeditionary forces' reserve equipment had been stored in Britain, and stores were got away from depots south of the Somme.
Furthermore the equipment en route from America to France was diverted to Britsin and the trata- formation effected in one month was perhaps unequalled in history.
The breathing space that we have had since Dunkirk has been turned to good effect. Most of the major forinations are now comparatively able to form arc
well equipped and
new divisions.
We have also been able to supply
i material ald to the Allies.
Gallant Greeks
In a warm tribute to the gallont Greck operations, which "ogain proved that fortune favours the brave,
"Captain Margesson said that the Greeks, by their triumphant ad- vance over difficult country in the depths of winter, had shown their neighbours that the small country possessed dauntless courage.
The Free French forces have al- ready given gallant service in Libya,

where, and
and the Poles are only waiting for a chance to get at the enemy once again..
The position as regards equipment has greatly improved since last sum- mer and gives some cause for con- Adence. Gaps
still
existing in some classes of equipment are closing weekly and with the aid of British and Dominion and Indian production and the growing American output, the time is not distant when we shall have an army fully equipped and fully trained.
Not Sitting Tight
We are not sling light inside our defences but are endeavouring daily to improve our system of static and mobile defence.
In the meantime the Home Guard is doing a One
job, notwithstanding some temporary shortage of equip ment. As proof of the excellence of British material, Captain Margesson recalled the long-range desert patrols organised by General Wavell soon after Italy entered the war, exploring the Libyan desert.
