Red Cross Says No Reports on Missing Soldiers
Athens County Red Cross Chapter notes that until a serviceman is officially listed as missing in action the case is handled by the military. The Red Cross does not receive or seek information during this period and only assists once the War Department is notified. If a prisoner of war is confirmed, details are sent to next of kin and the Red Cross may help with correspondence after official notification. If killed in action, the military informs next of kin directly.
