Frank Herbert Wood. 12tli Battery, Machine Gun Corps, Australian Forces. Hs is a prisoner at Dulmen. He was captured at Pozieres in August last, and the next-of-kin is bis sister, Mrs. W. ' Williams, Stratford, New Zealand. Communications have been received from the following prisoners in Turkey: 10/H55 Pie. J. P. Coulter and 10/1230 Cpl. F. J. Earles (at Bilemedik), also 8/1114 L.-Cp}. John Forrester and 10/458 Pte. C. F. Monk {at Afion-Kara-Hissar). The parcels to the New Zealand prisoners in Turkey are now beginning to reach them, Forrester having received two and Monk having acknowledged no fewer than seven, on the post-card received from him. Nearly all the Christmas parcels sent to Germany by the New Zealand Prisoners Department have now been acknowledged.
