SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE
RUGBY, June 13. . The Secretary of the Dominions (Lord Caldecottd) sent the following message to the Prime Minister of South Africa (General Smuts):—“News that units of the South African Air Force, which so recently flew to Kenya, have already been in action has stirred us all. May I say how greatly we here are heartened by the South Africans fighting side by side with us again against the common enemy in Africa and by this symbol of the union’s determination to stand with us and other parts of the Commonwealth in the cause of freedom.”
