Editorial Note

No official record of the substance of this meeting has been found. According to the Hopkins’ notes on the proceedings of January 22 (Sherwood, pp. 687–690), Mountbatten explained his views in favor of an attack on Sardinia rather than Sicily and described current British experiments on special explosives and ships made of ice.
