PRISONER OF WAR CORPORAL TOM PITCON First news of Corporal Tom. Pitcon, of Te Kuiti, since he was reported missing in Crete, has come in a letter from him sent from a prisoner of war camp in Crete.

I will not be taken off the island now, so you can write to me here—my address is No. 8860, Corporal T. M. Pitcon, P.O.W. Camp, Crete.

The letter received was dated August 25.
