SAFE IN ENGLAND
WAR PRISONERS ARRIVE RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Friday Referring to the safe arrival in England of a number of New Zealanders who had been prisoners of war, the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, said that prior to their arrival in England complete arrangements had been made for their reception and accommodation in a camp specially established for thorn. After they had been given medical attention and re-equipped they would be granted generous leave and travel facilities in Britain. “Our principal objective,” said the Minister, “will be to bring them back to New Zealand as soon as possible, but this is governed by the shipping available. Next-of-kin of repatriated prisoners of war can rest assured that everything possible will be done for the health and comfort of the men under the organisation set up for the purpose.”
