P.O.W. The Monthly Newsletter of the Australian Prisoners of War Relatives Association. Number 37, 15 February 1945 to Number 41, 15 June 1945
Sydney, The Association, 1945.
Large quarto, five issues, with each one comprising 16 pages with numerous illustrations (from photographs) of Australian prisoners of war.
Newsprint tanned and a little brittle, with minor marginal blemishes; two staples later put through the inner margins, with the last two numbers stapled together (with the last leaf of the last issue bound in at the end of the second-last one); overall in decent condition.
While the general tone of these very informative newsletters is upbeat, there is a distinct air of anxiety, with published letters from POWs some four to five months behind current events. The 'Enquiries' page, containing numerous small personal classified requests for information, still hits hard: 'Any repatriated or rescued prisoner of war, or any other person who may know anything regarding undermentioned prisoners of war, is kindly requested to communicate with the relative enquiring'. [5 items].
