Plans To Care For Repatriated Britons
LONDON, Aug. 23. The plans for looking after Allied prisoners in Japanese hands are well under way. Two great camps have been set up in the Philippines to receive about 32,000 prisoners of war and internees who will be evacuated from Japan by air and sea.* Of these 14,000 are from the United Kingdom, between 5000 and 8000 from Australia and about 1000 from Canada. Repatriation to their own homes will be arranged the moment they set foot on friendly soil. Representatives of thi> Australian Red Cross and Australian Comforts Fund will be on hand to assist British nationals.
