A cablegram received from the Salvation Army International Headquarters by Commissioner J. Evan Smith, territorial commander for the Salvation Army in N^ew Zealand, states that Salvationists rendered extensive air-raid relief during the Battle for Singapore. Twelve mobile canteens took sustenance to victims and passive defence workers.
"Lady Shenstone Thomas, wife of the Governor, gave regular service at a Red Shield Club which supplied thousands of meals daily," the advice adds. "Social homes carried on cheerfully, and soul' Saving meetings continued. British, 'Australian, Indian, and Malayan officers of the Salvation Army remained at their posts of duty after the Japanese occupation. Some are now presumed interned. The wives and children only were evacuated."
