(2) The association was intended to be close, but not organic. Lt. Gen. Sir Balfour Hutchinson, who was the supply chief at GHQ in late 1941, has written: "As regards the H. Q. we planned to have them [the Americans] as close as possible but at no time did we ever propose to amalgamate them into one and absorb the American Mission into our H. Q." Quoted in Ltr, Brig W.

26 (1) "Precis of a discussion which took place at Headquarters, Tenth Army, on Monday 6th April 1942 between the Army Commander, Col Shingler, U.S. Army, and D.A. and Q.M.G., Tenth Army, as amplified by telephone conversation, L.G.A., G.H.Q. M.E.F. speaking to D.A. and Q.M.G., Tenth Army." 206/32/2/Ql. Copy transcribed for the author by courtesy of the Historical Section, Cabinet Office, London. (2) Just before he was relieved as Commanding General, USAFIME, to become Commanding General, SOS, USAFIME, General Maxwell concluded similar arrangements for placing American detachments for the time being under the control of British commanders. Because of constitutional difficulties, no "formal ordinance" was entered into, disposition of units by "unilateral decision" of Maxwell and his "very ready co-operation" being relied upon as an informal working basis. The British did not, therefore, diminish their own units in compensation for those looked for from the Americans. General Connolly did not continue these arrangements after his arrival in the Corridor.
