I am instructed by Major General MONASH, Commanding 3rd Australian Division, to forward a request that all estaminets, farms, and private houses situated in NIEPPE, PONT DE NIEPPE and Otff de HOLLANDE may be forbidden to sell or supply any liquor to British Troops from June lst to June lOth inclusive. This is oonsidered necessary for the good of the troops in view of certain important operations during which it is essential that the troops should have no chance of obtaining too much drink. I trust you will be able to obtain the necessary authority from your Chief. (Sd) HENRY E.

The French regulations do not permit to put out of bounds the estaminets of a whole area as long as there is nothing to reprove. - The only way to meet your A.P.M's wishes, would be to issue an order prohibiting to all ranks the entrance in the estaminets - But no notices will have to be posted on the

The attached memo signed by Major Sir HENRY DERING, A.P.M. 3rd Australian Division, has been handed to me by French Mission Second Army. 2. I beg to draw attention to the mention of dates in connection with operations and to the fact that the memo is not marked secret. 3. I have at different times received verbal reports from A.P.M. II ANZAC commenting adversely on Major Sir H. DERING's suitability for the appointment he holds. 4. I am of opinion that an officer who can commit such an indiscretion at the present time is unsuited for employment in the forward area. ace (d) W.A. otoch P.M.

The memorandum of the A.P.M. 3rd Australian Division was a most indiscrete one to have written.

This which you spoke once

of. It is generally known or rather

expected that someting will happen

before 15th June so Corps may [[?]]

taken  back a serious view as you expect.

If a new man is wanted the type to

look for is, I think, a man who

is a good organizer has good ideas of

discipline & procedure & the fitness

of things lots of energy a good

[[?]] maker. & prepared to keep a

stiff upper lip. a little unpopular

hes not lacking in xxx salt.

Moreover he [[?]] [[?]] ambitious

as it is a [[?]] job.

Names that suggest themselves are 

as follows,

Massie

Cok Russell
