Bennett Says Blamey Forcing Him Out Of Army
London May 2 General Sir Thomas Blamey Australian commander in chief said Bennett’s claim that Blamey forced him out is a poor statement. Bennett retired on his own request and was placed on the reserve list after escaping Singapore in 1942. He said Blamey refused him an operational command because of his link to Malaya defeat and his Singapore escape. Bennett defended Australian troops and argued escape was a soldier’s duty after hostilities ceased. He noted Blamey himself escaped from Greece and took his son.
