SPECIAL CEMETERY REGISTERS
PERSONS KILLED ON SERVICE
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, January 13. The name of every New Zealander whose life was lost on service in the Second World War will appear in printed cemetery registers, and a suitably inscribed head stone will be erected over every grave, said the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr W. E. Parry) to-day. The war graves division of the department would at an early date start to communicate with the next-of-kin of New Zealanders who lost their lives or were missing overseas as a result of war service.
After describing the methods to be adopted in the compilation of the registers, the Minister said that it would probably be about a vcar before the actual preparation of the registers began. Relatives would be given an opportunity of purchasing at cost price copies of those parts of the registers in which they were especially interested. ■
