REPORT: OVERSEAS CADETS
Reference RMAS/505/G 26 Feb. 63.

Here is the report requested.

Major Reeve has been as honest as possible within
the limits of diplomacy! The lack of resolution
referred to was a blatant case of gutlessness, where
the heart gave out before the body.

I am sure it is right to include this in the report
heavily watered down, in case we have a repeat
performance at a later date. Obviously, Faisal
would not be removed from the Academy for failing
written work, but he might be for lack of guts.
I don't suppose either will happen, but it is as
well to be on the safe side, I think.

Perhaps the Commandant should see the report before
it is sent, as I know he is taking a personal
interest in the case.

19th February, 1963.
