Mr. Alexander C. Kirk, Political Adviser, Allied Force Headquarters, to the Secretary of State

824. General Wilson has designated his Chief of Staff Lieutenant General J. A. H. Gammell as his representative to sign Bulgarian armistice terms at Moscow. It is expected that General Gammell will proceed in very near future for this purpose. Major General I. H. Edwards of General Gammell’s staff will accompany General Gammell to the Soviet Union with understanding that Edwards is serving on staff of SACMED and not as the United States representative in connection with signing of Bulgarian armistice terms.
