UKRAINIAN CAPTIVES FOUGHT FOR GERMANS INTENDED FOR FARM WORK (11 a.m.) LONDON. May 23. The First Ukrainian Division of the former German Army, about 8000 strong, is being moved from a transit camp in Italy to Britain, says Reuter's diplomatic correspondent. The men have been questioned to make sure that none came from territory within the pre-war Russian frontiers, citizens of whiph Britain is obliged to return to their country under the terms of a bilateral repatriation agreement with Rusisa in 1945. Their preliminary questioning established that all are citizens of Polish Ukraine, although many lived in territory which is now part of the Soviet Union. The men will be regarded for the present as prisoners of war with “undetermined nationality.” It is understood that they will be employed in agriculture.
