NEW ZEALAND SOLDIERS IN TURKEY.
Since so many New Zealand soldiers have been reported missing a number of people have attempted to communicate with residents of Turkey to obtain information regarding individual soldiers. As all postal communication with Turkey has ceased, these letters have to be returned to the senders through the Dead Letter Office.
The Postmaster-General states that persons having friends or relatives reported to be missing may write a post-card to the missing soldier, and send it to the Deputy Chief Postal Censor at Wellington, who will forward it to the proper quarter for delivery. The postcard should he addressed to the soldier by his rank, number, name, and regiment, the words “ Believed to be a prisoner of war in Turkey ” being added. The card should be fully signed by the sender. No postage stamps are required to be affixed. The written matter should be strictly confined to social and domestic affairs ; any reference to the war or to politics, or the state of the country, will result in the destruction of the card.
