MISSING. SOLDIERS
INQUIRIES BY RED CROSS (P A.) WELLINGTON, Sunday. Complaints by New Zealand prisoners in Italian camps are being investigated by the International Red Cross at Geneva states the Prisoners of War Inquiry Office, which points out that as the Italian authorities had a large number of prisoners thrown on their hands at the end of 1941 it was only to be expected it would take some time for camps to be put in satisfactory order. Next-of-kin in New Zealand who had relatives still posted as missing in Greece and Crete are asked to send full details to the inquiry office, which will have special inquiries made through the International Red Cross. A cabled reply was received to-day within seven days of inquiry on several cases of missing wen. Geneva said there was no record of the men, but investigations would naturally continue. The International Red Cross is now also transmitting cablegrams in occasional cases where prisoners have not had any news from their families.
