§ Mr. HeadAs soon as these men are handed over they will go to a camp in Korea where they will be fed and clothed. They will also be able to send a telegram to their next of kin. They will then be flown to Japan, where they will be held for the minimum time necessary. From Japan, those whose medical condition requires it will be brought home by air: the remainder will return by sea.
The next of kin will be told by telegram as soon as their relative is handed over and will be allowed a telegram at a special rate to send to him. They will later be told by letter when he leaves Japan and given details of the arrangements for his arrival in this country.
