(Untitled), 07 Jul 1942
Scope and Contents
Telegram from WSC to General Sir Claude Auchinleck [Commander in Chief Middle East] marked "personal and secret" informing him that the information about Allied movements had been released by Auchinleck's military censors, using the Cairo beam which is audible to the German Listening Service, and that he cannot blame the BBC: recommends that the censor responsible is tried by court martial and the correspondent who wrote it sent home; recommends that he hand the matter over to the Minister of State in the Middle East [Richard Casey].
