| BP. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X677 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21.12.28. We give below an extract from a letter we have received from Hancock, Chateauroux :- When 12-EX car left Boulogne, the General Transport people dealt with it. Their Agent Mr. Guillain of 7, Rue d'Artois had the dealing with the car and I gave him the whole of the papers and did not receive any back. There was at the time about 9 cars being shipped to England, and Mr. Guillain had to deal with 4 or 5. There was a hitch whether we should be able to get over and it was probably due to this that the winding up of the job was not completed. I have no further knowledge of what transpired.
