UNIFIED CORPS
AUSTRALIAN TROOPS APPROVAL BY CABINET (Reed. Nov. 27, 9 a.m.) CANBERRA, Nov. 26. In all future engagements in the Middle East Australian troops will fight as a unified corps instead of being cut into units operating on different sectors. The Minister for the Army, Mr. F. M. Forde, stated that the Federal Cabinet had agreed that this course, which was recommended by Lieut. - General Sir Thomas Blarney, should be followed and deemed it highly desirable. General Blarney visited Canberra to-day for final consultations with the War Cabinet prior to returning to the Middle East. It was announced to-day that practically all the Australians had been withdrawn from Tobruk. They are being linked up with the main A.I.F. force. Reinforcements are reaching the A.I.F. on all fronts at a rate enabling it to maintain fighting strength at the fullest efficiency.
