News of Australian and New Zealand prisoners of war in Italy has been broadcast from the Vatican City radio station to the Apostolic Delegation in Sydney.

Delegate to Australia and New Zealand, said the Pope had organised a service of assistance for prisoners of war, missing persons and civil internees. The Holy See not only inquired about soldiers or internees, but sent personal messages for them. Dr. Panico requested families who : asked about next-of-kin to indicate whether the men had been reported missing in Libya, Greece, Crete or elsewhere. Assistance would be granted to soldiers without distinction of religion.
