Hi,
   if you look at later releases you will find appendix B to that report. These were extracted from the original, but are now open. As you appear to have looked at the original you will know the files are indexed in reverse.
I have produced Catalogues by name of all the E & E Reports.

Hi Brian,

Wonder if your catalogue contains any of the following names?

     William Henry Walmsley of the Master Attendants Office. (traced and copied)
     William Campbell of Gatty & Bateman or possibly of United Engineers Singapore;
     John Dyce (b. 1899 in Edinburgh) Director Medical Hall Collyer Quay;
     W. McArthur (possibly spelt MacArthur); 
     Gerald Manning McMahon of Derrick & Co (Agent for Hammers);  (traced and copied)
     Peter Black Purvis (b. 1901  in Stirling) Manager of Wm Hammer & Co
     James George Stewart, (b. 1901 Drainie ?) Asst Manager Wm Hammer & Co. 
     A/Sub Lt. A. J. H. Gwynne  MRNVR
     A/Sub Lt L R Barnett-Smith   MRNVR  (traced and copied)
     P/O ME Pascall (CJX147366)
     ERA F E Green (DMX 70143)

Would be very interested to hear if they do.

Hi Daisy,
             FindMyPast have my Catalogues and turned them into Alpha order.
What I have are as they are filed :- by year so at time it is necessary to hunt through several thousands to find a particular report.

There was an exchange of Naval POW with the Italians, in early 1943 I believe. Over 700.       These will have been interrogated on return to the UK, but no Reports appear to be around for any of those repatriated prior to the end of the War.

Best try FindMyPast.

Yes, I know it has been years, just found this old post!

So if I read correctly, are you saying that there is also an Appendix B to the Barzeele Report available at The National Archives.  Would it be in the same location of WO208/3350  IS9/WEA/MB1117?
