There are still 22 names of those reported missing to be checked. SeniorSergeant G.

All names submitted were carefully checked, and classified on a card index system. Every detail which might assist in the indentification of the victims was noted, including jewellery, badges, clothing, fountain pens and pencils, wristlet watches, keys, and other personal belongings. .To-day the work will be continued, and a further check will be made by calling at the homes of relatives or friends.
