REPRISAL CAMPS
CLOSED DOWN BY GERMANS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 7. Through the good offices of the United States Embassy, Stalag XXA, Fort 15, and Stalag XXAD, Fort 8, have been closed, and all the officers there have been transferred from them to other camps, states a War Office communique. A number of officers are said to have been sent to the Oflag VB. The German Foreign Office has promised to supply the United States Embassy, in the near future, with formal notification of the closing of the two camps, together with a list of camps to which officers have been transferred, and on receipt of this information by the British Government, next-of-kin will be notified of the change of address.
The camps closed are so-called “reprisal camps,” to which certain officers were transferred early in March this, year because of alleged ill treatment of German officers held in Canada.
