Messages from two New Zealand senior officers, Brigadier J. Hargost, D. 5.0., M.C., and Brigadier R. Miles, D. 5.0., M.C., as prisoners of war, were broadcast last night among a number of others by Vatican City radio. The Middle East Command on December 3 reported that both officers were believed to have been taken prisoner but the report was not subsequently confirmed, and they were posted as missing. Brigadier Miles, however, was reported on December 7 as having been wounded, but still missing.
