Sir Henry Jackson.

September 18, 1914.

In addition to the 2 Divisions now coming from India and the expedition for German East Africa, we must expect the following:—

(a) A third Indian Division.

(b) 31 batteries of field artillery from India, to be exchanged for an equal amount of Territorial artillery from home.

(c) 39 battalions of British infantry from India, to be exchanged for an equal number of Territorial battalions from home.

(d) As many more Indian troops as India in these circumstances finds it convenient to despatch.
