WAR PRISONERS
POSITION OF NEW ZEALANDERS IN ITALY. NO NEWS COMING THRbUGH. (Special P.A. Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, September 14. “The whole position is confused,” said Mr C .B. Burdekin, of the Prisoners of War Department at New Zealand House, commenting on New Zealanders who are prisoners of war in Italy. “There is no news coming through of what is happening. Latterly there have been only a few of our boys in prisonei’ of war camps in Southern Italy, but some of them may have been moved noruiwards before the invasion. It is likely that when the.armistice was announced, New Zealanders, in common with other British prisoners, may have walked out of northern camps, hoping to make for Switzerland or Yugoslavia, but there is no confirmation of this. There are seven men reported so far who were removed from Italy to Germany before the fall of Mussolini. They are Gunner A. B. Cresswell. Privates T. Mottram, A. L. Richardson, all of Wellington, who are at Stalag 48, and Privates E. S. Mcßride, of Christchurch, H. McCiuggage, of Waipu, T. R. Rusbridge, of Gore, and Sapper S. Seller, of Auckland, who are in Stalag 88.
