Description
Melbourne, Vic. 1944-08-09. This Red Cross parcel covered with labels in many languages is one of six next-of-kin parcels packed and despatched by the Australian Red Cross Prisoner-of-War Packing Department in Flinders Street which was returned from the International Red Cross Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, some three years after it was despatched from Australia. The prisoner-of-war in North Africa to whom the parcel was despatched was repatriated before delivery. The contents were in perfect condition when opened.
