ATLANTIC DEFENCES
ESTABLISHMENT OF SEPARATE COMMAND ACTION BY CANADIAN GOVERNMENT. POST FOR MAJOR-GENERAL ELKINS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 11.10 a.m.) RUGBY, August 28.
A separate command for Canada’s defence forces in the Atlantic area and along the approaches to the St. Lawrence River has been established. Ma-jor-General W. H. P. Elkins, whose charge will include also Canada’s troops now on duty in Newfoundland, has been appointed to the post. This development represents a major step in the defence of what Colonel Ralston (Canadian Minister of Defence) has described as “our most vulnerable area.”
