With reference to the correspondence
Bar syiling
noted in the margin, I have the
honour to enquire whether it would be
possible to replace the seven machine
guns and 200,000 rounds of ammunition
lent to the Government of South
Africa by Lewis Guns .303 inch.
In the opinion of the General Officer
Commanding this type of gun would be the most suitable for the
Hongkong Defence Corps, and he suggests that twelve guns with
350,000 rounds of Small Arm Ammunition .303 inch Mark VII would be sufficient. This Government would be prepared to pay
for the excess of value of these arms and ammunition over that
of the arms and ammunition above mentioned.
