air raid casualty. It is imprac ticable to make any automatic arrangements but if information were received from the Colonial Office that a relative of an officer had become a casualty I should at once notify the officer: con- cerned by telegraph through his Government. Members of the advised public here have, been to carry 'about with them withi their identity card the name and address of some person whom they would wish to be notified. in the event of their becoming air raid casualties: I

suggest that officers: should ask their re- latives to arrange with persons so named that if event occurs they shall inform the Under Se- cretary of State, Colonial Office, giving full name, appointment and Colony of the officer con- cerned and his relationship to the casualty.

I have decided to extend the unofficial resident in the Colonies, the benefits of arrange- ments similar to those set out in my telegram No. 196 circular for notification of serious air rald casualties' to the near re- latives at home.

Unofficials who wish to receive such notification should take similar steps to those suggested for the officers, in my telegram No. 196 circular.

The person in this country. who- reports casualty to the Colonial Office should give the full name and address of the unofficial (local resident not in Govern ment service) concerned and his relationship to the casualty."

Telegram reporting casualty. will be free of charge.
