1 Since January 1986 a wing of the British military advisory and training team has been specifically allocated to train Mozambican troops within Zimbabwe.

Some of these personnel have filled posts in overseas staff colleges and similiar establishments which may have been attended by students from countries other than the host nation. I regret that records of such students are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
