Scope and content

Cairns objects to the minutes of the meeting of the Sub-Comnittee [on Body Armour and Helmets 24/9/42] of the MPRC, on the question of steel helmets (B.P.C. 42/128). Cairns demands that the minutes be rewritten. The incorrect suggestions relate to the preference of the Mark III British Helmet over the American Steel Helmet.

Compliment slip attached.
