PRISONERS OF WAR
NAMES STILL COMING THROUGH
200 A WEEK NOTIFIED
The Prisoners of War office which is carrying out its arduous task ex. tremely efficiently, has had unnecessary difficulties thrown in its path by the carelessness of some next-of-kin in not notifying any changes of address. I't is essential to keep the office notified of .any change.
The number of men now on th« records is nearly 3230, the majority of whom now have camp addresses. Names are coming through at thr rate of approximately 200 a week. Negotiations are in progress between the N.Z. High Commissioner's office in London and the Prisoners of War inquiry office in con. nection with the supply of text books and study books to prisoners of war when requested. Next-of-kin having any such requests should inform the prisoners of war headquarters. In response to advice given a week ago many cases have been reported from all over New Zealand where relatives have had letters from men of unknown address and who are not yet officially notified as prisoners of war. An indication that parcels are getting through is the receipt of notification of a Red Cross parcel having been received in CMlag VB on July 25.
