The persons concerned by the Act are any persons of the Armed Forces who were held prisoners of war after December 7, 1941, by an enemy government. The deadline date, by which time the application must be made, has been set as March 1, 1951; however, we have been informed by usually reliable sources that such claims will be settled on the basis of "first come, first served." Therefore, it will be to the advantage of any former P.O.W. to file just as soon as possible.
If you were a P.O.W. and wish to apply, please stop in and give us your name and address, so we can procure the necessary blanks and send them out to you.
