COST OF THE B.E.F.
(British Official AVireless.) RUGBY, April 29. Among interesting facts and figures that are revealed by the auditor's report on the Army accounts is the fact that some £2,000,000 expenditure was incurred while the B.E.F. was in France and Belgium. This was not vouched for, however, because relative books were lost or destroyed during the retreat before the evacuation at Dunkirk. Another item is over £-10.000 representing cash lost or unaccounted: for during the evacuations lrom France and Norway.
