      I dare to say you will like to know our latest war news. Following 
      just received from General Wavell. Begins.
 
      Most Secret.
 
      Bardia operations proceeding satisfactorily. News is scarce but 
      refers to mopping up. Indicates enemy resistance only in isolated 
      places.
 
      Prisoners may exceed 25,000 including there might be 2 corps 
      commanders, 4 divisional commanders and rumoured one bishop accompanied
