At red (135) Governor suggested that Dependencies should meet the cost and sought approval for an item to be included in the Estimates (presumably 1942), and at red (137) S. of S. approved Governor’s proposal.No further correspondence appears on the subject, and I am advised by Treasury that up to the half-year ending 30th June, 1942, no charge appears in the Grown Agents’ accounts with this Government.

G/Falkland Is. 4852/1* A COPY OF LETTER FROM THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATS, TO THE

GROWN AGENTS

THE WAR OFFICE,Hotel Victoria, Northumberland Av.,

W.C.2.

Ref: 15/Repts ./8792 (M.G.O.F.(R))

1943.5th June,Gentlemen,

With reference to your letter No. G/Falkland Is.4852/1 dated the 29th April, 1943 and to previous correspondence on the subject of small arms ammunition despatched to the Falkland Islands,I am directed to state that this matter has been further investigated and the position appears to be as follows.

In august, 1940, information was received from the Ministry of Food that a vessel was sailing for South Georgia and suggesting that the Local Defence Force would probably have expended, in training, the ammunition supplied with the arms which has been issued on loan and that a further supply should be sent in this vessel as sailings were infrequent. 2,000 rounds of S.A.A. were accordingly despatched in the s.s. "SOUTHERN EXPRESS" which sailed in October,1940 and duly arrived and off-loaded at its destination. A copy of the S.A. and D. Note in connection with this shipment is attached together with a copy of Longtown Issue Voucher No. 326 which refers.

Subsequently a covering requisition was received for this ammunition but this was treated as a fresh demand and a further 2 boxes (2,000 rounds) were despatched from Corsham in the s.s. "LYNTON GRANGE" which sailed in April 1941* This vessel duly arrived and off-loaded. Issue Voucher C.33771 (Repayment Voucher No. 291) refers to this shipment which was made on F.S.O. CA/52/41.

There would appear to be no doubt that two consignments of this ammunition were sent, that they duly arrived in the Colony and that they were retained there. I am, therefore, to request you to be good enough to ask the Government of the Falkland Islands to confirm (a) that they did not, in fact, take over both consignments although it has been established that both were shipped and off loaded and (b) that they received one consignment only from one of the above-mentioned ships and to say which one.

I am, Gentlemen,Your obedient servant,

(Sgd)

R.N.Armament Depot,

Falkland IslandsThe Officer Commanding Defences and Magistrate

South Georgia. 19 th January 1945

Many thanks for your S.G. No S/2/44 dated 9th January 1945. and for the Forms 0.44 for period 31/3/42 to 31/3/43 and period 31/3/43 to 31/3/44 ' ’ *

The Forms 0.44 are solely for recording transactions ol items 11 on loan”. In this connection there is a probability that some of the items shewn as being in hand on 31/3/42 may be part of a consignment received^at South Georgia on 6/12/40, which were paid for by the Crown Agents for the Colonies,and, in consequence, should not be included in Forms 0.44.

To verify the above it would be greatly appreciated therefore if you would forward copies of Forms 0.44, showing transactions prior to the above mentioned periods.

I am contacting C.0. F.I.F. Depot regarding source of supply of items received in February and December ° 1943.

Officer in Charge of Armament Supply.
