in 1943, the british sub-mission was established in keserović's headquarters. according to chetnik officer milan deroc, the name of the british liaison officer (blo) at keserović's headquarters was major bob wade. by mid-1943, the differences between the british and the chetniks had become "too serious and too pervasive". almost without exception, the british reports were unfavorable to the chetniks as a fighting force. the chetniks too were unhappy with the british. keserović issued directives to a brigade under his control to keep information from a british liaison officer visiting his area of operations, and to provide no information to him about the actual situation, but to provide only a positive perspective on the chetniks, and to discount the partisans as a resistance force in occupied serbia.
