PRISONERS OF WAR
ADVICE TO RELATIVES
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Saturday. An urgent request is made by the Prisoner of War Inquiry Office headquarters for next-of-kin to forward copies of recent letters received from prisoners in Oflag lIIC., which the British Red Cross announces is at Hobenfels, Bavaria, and not at Lubben, on the Spree, as previously notified. Although bakelite plates are •allowed to be included in quarterly parcels, packing centres in New Zealand have found a large proportion of these broken when parcels have been opened for consoring. These plates must be very carefully wrapped. Three more lists of prisoners in Japanese hands in camps, in Malaya and Formosa have been received. These may be inspected at all branches of the Red Cross and St. John Joint Council and the Prisoners of War Offices.
