Scope and content

Krohn writes of the progress at the Research and Experiments Department. He describes the availability and composition of food rations. The splinter gun had arrived and had been tried, Krohn explains the findings. He mentions the Ministry of Aircraft Production's concerns about the effect of scabbing of armour on personnel. The American flak suit had been introduced. Trials regarding Paradrine are scheduled. Progress with water blast is going ahead. Mentioned briefly are surveys and POW. A questionnaire to members of the New Zealand Division is commented on. Other casualty survey issues are raised. The hut for the department had nearly been completed. Various staff members are mentioned. The circulation of the Tripoli report had been hampered and Krohn admits not knowing much about it. He asks about Pantelleria.
