  • Letter– File copy of a letter to the commanding officer of HMCS UGANDA from the Naval Secretary, informing the ship's CO that the Department of National Defence did not concur with several of the findings made by the Board of Inquiry into L/Stwd Stuart's death. The Board's findings obviously had been critically reviewed by higher authority within the Department of National Defence in a genuine and meaningful - rather than perfunctory - manner.
