Confirmation of the safety as prisoner of of war of Lance-Coropral Douglas White .McKenzie has been received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. McKenzie, Gisborne. L./Corporal McKenzie was reported earlier as being killed in action during the Libyan battle. The first intimation his parents received of his safety, following the official notfiication of his death, was from the, Vatican City radio, his name being included among other New Zealanders who were* listed as prisoner of war iff Italy. Official confirmation that he was a prisoner was received from the Defence Department yesterday. The death of Gunner Eric Ronald Andrew occurred in Fiji on Tuesday as the result of an accident. The late Gunner Andrew belonged to a family which is well represented in the fighting forces, four brothers being on active service, two of whom fighting in the Libyan campaign. The son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Andrew, Kaiti Beach, the late Gunner Andrew was educated at the Patutahi School, which he represented on occasions on the football field. After leaving school he was employed by Mr. Habgood, Patutahi. On the outbreak of war he joined up, but was considered too young to go overseas. His departure was further delayed by illness, but he persisted in his desire and finally reached Fiji.
