(-British Official Wireless.)
(Received August 27, 10.50 la.m.)
RUGBY, August 26.
In accordance with plans made by the War Office to give effect to the decision to bring the establishments of the garrisons at Malta and Aden into line, with modem conditions, announced in Parliament when the Estimates were presented early this year, the transport Neuralia will sail from Southampton next Tuesday with 1200 troops for Malta.
The usual garrisoning arrangements in peace tune provide for married men to be accompanied, if desired, by their wives and children, and in the present case about 80 families will sail with the men on the Neuralia.
The transport is expected back at Southampton by October 2 to take her place: with the other four transports now in the Southampton docks in the trooping season's normal schedule.
