PRISONER IN GERMANY
NEW ZEALAND AIRMAN “TREATED VERY WELL’’ (Reed. Oct. 26, noon.) LONDON, Oct. 25. The New Zealander, Pilot Officer Edwards, who was taken prisoner in Germany last month, writing from a prison camp to a friend in London, said he found the German officers and men “good scouts.”
He was treated very well. The camp was comfortable, containing a fenced area for exercising. The chief pastime was bridge.
Pilot Officer Edwards asked friends to send tinned meats, paste and cigarettes.
Flying Officer C. H. Clark, of Wellington, killed in action, heads the Air Ministry’s seventh casualty list, which does not contain others from the Dominion in the total killed in action. Four were killed on active service, eight are missing, and 11 missing and believed killed.
