Contains various letters regarding the grave of Orde Wingate as well as some newspaper cuttings and a photo. Correspondence between Imperial War Graves Commission and Tulloch (1950) about reburial of Wingate in US [the US procedure was to allow reburial of personnel who were killed abroad; in contrast to UK] as it was not possible to distinguish US and UK fatalities in the crash, collective reburial was allowed. The bodies were interred at Arlington National Cemetery in November 1950.
