§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt has now been decided to allow families of soldiers serving with units of the British Army of Occupation on the Rhine, up to the number allowed on the pre-War married establishments for the Army, to join their units in Germany. The General Officer Commanding, Army of the Rhine, has been asked to make the necessary arrangements and to report when accommodation is ready for the reception of these families. As soon as his reply has been received the families will be despatched. They will be given free passages.
