MANY PARCELS
REACHING PRISONERS OF WAR EVIDENCE IN LETTERS. RECEIVED AT NEW ZEALAND HOUSE. (Special P.A. Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, July 31. Hundreds of letters have arrived at New Zealand House from prisoners of war, acknowledging clothing and cigarette parcels sent by the New Zealand Red Cross. The letters confirm that nearly every man in all camps has received at least one parcel of clothing and six or eight cigarette parcels. Many mention parcels received from the Dominion. Several soldiers have written authorising donations to the Red Cross from their accrued pay as a mark of appreciation. An indication of the speeding-up of distribution ' is a confirmation that Captain M. G. Wadez, of Wanganui, at Oflag 68, received a pair of spectacles seventeen days after they were dispatched by air mail from London. Men are also receiving from England the type of razor blades they require, which apparently are not available in New Zealand.
