Falklands: Nicholls minute for Wiggin (c1500Z) ("Illegal Landing on South Georgia") [account of events; decision to use HMS Endurance] [declassified Aug 2015]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: FCO46/3202 f58
Editorial comments:

Timed c1500Z because this was the time set to issue the minute - see its coversheet. Read other documents selected from this file. A version of this minute in DEFE24/2252, f118, ends with a different closing line. Rather than "A submission is being made to FCO Ministers in parallel", Nicholls writes: "The FCO have been consulted and are content".
