§ 36. Major-General Sir Alfred Knoxasked the Secretary of State for War which prisoner-of-war camps have been moved by the Germans owing to the Russian advance; and if he can make known the address of the new camps to which British prisoners have been moved.
Sir J. GriģģI am circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT such information as we have about the movement of camps in Germany. Information about the whereabouts of individual prisoners can only be obtained from the German authorities, and, owing to the present situation, it is likely that there will be great delays. In sending letters to prisoners of war I should like to emphasise the importance of addresing them to the old camp addresses. There are bound to be delays, but there is otherwise little chance of the letters reaching the prisoners at all.
