(British Official Wireless.)
(Received November 2, 12.30 p.m.)
KUGBY. November 1
A communique issued in Cairo today deals chiefly with operations in Egypt and the Sudan. During the night of October 30-31 one of our patrols in the Western Desert in Egypt encountered and inflicted casualties on an enemy party without loss.
Active patrolling continues in the Sudan. On October 29, in the Kassala sector, a British patrol destroyed the contents of a small camel convoy, capturing one prisoner. In the Blue Nile sector enemy reconnaissance parties who were first successfully engaged on October 26 are continuing their withdrawal. There is nothing to report m Kenya or Palestine.
