Missing In

Indonesia

A LIST of British civilians who are missing in Malaya, Borneo and Dutch East Indies, is published in this issue (page 12). It contains 1,200 names, but is by no means complete. It represents the unselfish work of a small body of men and women, led by Mrs. C.

G Howell and Mr. Roger Dolbey, who have made this compilation from material gathered patiently in hundreds of inter views.

British Indonesian refugees are in four main groups—East Australia, West Australia, South Africa (including Natal) and India —and there are from 1,000 to 3,000 in each group. This list of 1,200 names is compiled mostly from data gathered in East Australia.

The list is being constantly added to and corrected, and will be re-published at intervals. It is hoped that, as the Indo nesian civilians are moved by the Jap anese to prisons’ camps in Formosa and Korea —a process now believed to be going on—official lists of prisoners will become available through the Red Cross.

All information should go to Mrs.

Howell, at the Malayan Research Bureau, 8a Castlereagh Street, Sydney.
