CHANNEL ISLANDS RESIDENTS
In view of inquiries received as to the whereabouts and safety of persons in the Channel Islands, the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, Sir Harry Batterbee, states that a Channel Islands Refugees' Committee has been formed in London and a register is being compiled of persons evacuated from the islands before the German occupation. He will be happy to forward any inquiries to London regarding relatives in the Channel Islands of persons in New Zealand, but there may be considerable delay before reliable information can be obtained. Names and addresses should be given in block capitals and the relationship should be stated.
There is at present no means of communicating with persons still in the Channel Islands, states the High Commissioner.
