Freedom Of Information Act Letter #7

OK so first of all here we will adress the matter of writing to Ft Detrick, that letter appears below

Dated: Sunday, July 14, 1996

Dear Sir,

may I draw your attention to the attached letters, they explain what information I am seeking and after reading the letter from the D.L.A. you will see why I am writing to you.

I have carried out a lengthy investigation into this batch of vaccine but still cannot ascertain how it came to be injected into British troops.

The letter from D.L.A explains that perhaps we got it because we were co-located with US troops, this is not the case because it was administered by British medical personnel.

So may I reiterate my question:

I would like to know how this batch of plague vaccine (10H03A) came to be in the hands of the British medical authorities, they must have requested it from someone within the US administration or Military, either in the Persian Gulf or in the US, therefore someone must have knowledge of how it came to be handed across for use on us.

In addition may also ask if you supplied Anthrax vaccine for use by British troops, ours was 337/E . I understand that there was a shortfall in the amount of this vaccine and that some of the troops got a placebo instead, could you confirm this and if they did indeed recieve a placebo, could you let me know what it was.

May I thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

To date there has been no reply from Ft detrick!
