been faced by German troops, but the weakness of the Italian opposition vas not due primarily to weakened morale, for the Italian forces were well equipped, strongly entrenched and numerically superior, but to the brilliont usc

and

minoeuvres by the Brus

forces. Successes in East Afrien were: 17 days from the beginning of the attack, Mognilselo 350 miles away had fallen, ond within another 48 hours in carry- ing out that operation so successfully, we had captured more than 10,000 prisoners.

These operations were a prelude to greater struggles with our principai

enemy.

British Supplies

Our situation In June, 1940, after Dunkirk, was unenviable. Fortunate. ly part of our expeditionary forces reserve equipment had been stored in Britain, and stores were got away- from depols south of the Somme.

Furthermore the

the equipment en route from America to France was diverted

to Britain and the trans- formation effected in one month wan perhaps unequalled in history.

The breathing space that we have had since Dunkirk has been turned to good effect. Most of the major formalions are. now comparatively well equipped and are able to form new divisions.

We have also been able to supply nisterial aid to the Allles.

Gallant Greeks

In a warm tribute to the gallant Greek operations,

which "ogain

proved that fortune favours the brave," Captain, Margesson said that the Greeks, by their triumphant ad- yance over difficult country in the depths of winter, had shown their neighbours the small country possesseil dauntless courage.

The Free French forces have al- rendy

riven

gallant service in Libyn, Eritrea, Itailan Somaliland and

and the Poles аке

a chance to get at the

where,

for

enemy once again.

The position as

only

regards equipment

has greatly improved since last sun-

mer

and gives some

some cause for con- Adence. Gaps still existing in spine classes of equipment are closing weekly and with the ald 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 fly trained.

Not Sitting Tight

We are not sitting 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 fine job, notwithstanding some temporary shortage of equip- ment. As proof of the excellence of British material, Captain Margerson recalled the long-range desert patrols organised by General Wavell after Italy entered the war, exploring, the Libyan desert.
