| Description: |
Explains that the SS Verdala had been diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia, because the possibility of a German raider being at large in the Atlantic had lead to a decision that no troop ships should cross unless under convoy. Such convoys were available at Halifax. Admiralty expresses regret that it was not realised that troops on the Verdala were not equipped for the Canadian climate, and that there was then a delay in reporting this fact to the Admiralty following arrival at Halifax.
