Archibald Murray

[matthew lucas]

I have been asked the following

re Murray, 'i understand that when he ceased to be CIGS he left a 1 page set of 3 recommendations for Robertson. Basically Murray wanted the British army to be concentrated on the WF . As far as possible, and thiught Cape Helles should be evacuated.

Do you know where i could find the precise text of murrays recommendations ?'

Anyone got any ideas?

matt

thanks

The 1916-1917 Murray-Robertson correspondence is available online via the BL

see http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=add_ms_52461_fs001r

It may be worth contacting the BL to see if they also hold this earlier piece which you seek

Good luck

Michael
