4677 To BP. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG20.10.24. 98-NK CAR FOR FRANCE. X.677 x9941 We gave you all particulars of this car some time ago to enable you to get the necessary papers. It is now proposed that this car should cross over to France on Thursday. The car will call at Conduit Stret early on Thursday morning for the necessary papers for the R.A.C. examination. The car will be in charge of Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Bagley - he has a French Driving License so that it is not necessary for him to be on the International Driving Pass. The other three men - Cave, Hudson and Frost you have already had particulars of. We wish these men to be included on the Driving Pass. We suggest accommodation is booked for the car on the Southampton/Harve route for Thursday night. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
