Paris advise that they are making application for French Driving Licences in respect of Pattison, Royce and Gibbs. Will Gn. kindly note that the cost of these Licences will be charged to W. (amounting to approximately fcs:450), and this is an Experimental Department expense. We presume it is understood by all concerned that a French Driving Licence is of a permanent character and not subject to renewal each year as in this country. D/BP. | ||
