PRISONERS OF WAR
INFORMATION BUREAU
The Joint Council of the Order of St. John and New Zealand Red Cross Society has set up a bureau for the supervision and relief of prisoners of war. This work has already been undertaken in New Zealand by the Joint Council, but with the large addition to New Zealand prisoners of war, as the result of the fighting in Greece, work will now.be established on a fulltime basis.
The headquarters of the New Zealand Red Cross Society hayS in hand a large amount of information and further particulars will be available later.
It is proposed by the Joint Council to put an officer in full-time control of this important branch ot activity, under, a sub-committee of the Joint Council. As accommodation is taxed at the Joint Council headquarters in Dixon Street, it is intended to transfer the Prisoners of War Information Bureau to an office devoted entirely to its own purposes. In the meantime, inquiries should be marked on the envelope—"Prisoners of War Information Bureau, Joint Council Headquarters, Dixon Street, Wellington."
