Ask Notification Os Change Os Address Next Os Kin Urged To File Notification The war department appealed today to those who during the war n-celvisl notice of the death of a relative In the armed forces over*«as to inform the military service to which the deceased was attached if the have changed their address in the I'nlted States since the date the notice of death was first received. The war department's request for present addresses of next of kin Is made also on behalf of the navy department, marine corps, coast guard, and civilian agencies. Within the next few weeks the war department will mail to the last known address of next of kin of oversea* deceased of the army and the civilian agencies a letter requesting Information regarding their wishes for final burial. Similar letter* will be mailed by the navy department, marine corp* and coast guard to next of kin of deceased personnel of those services. The war department lias la-en authorized by congress to ascertain the wishes of legal next of kin concerning the return and Anal burial of World War II dead of all military services. The remain* being returned from Europe and the Middle East will la- brought through the New York port and sent to families throughout Ohio. West Virginia. Kentucky and Indiana. The remains being returned from the Pacific and China Burma theater, will be brought in through the San Francisco port and sent to Columbus general depot and fam Illes throughout Ohio. As soon as possible, tiie war department will notify Hie next of kin as to when the remains will be shipped to the next of kin.

It Is recognized, the war depart inenl states, that many thousands of next of kin may have changed j their place of residence since the; date they received a telegram from Hie military services Inform j ing them of the death of a relat-1 Ive overseas. Such change of res-1 Idence, without not I flea It ion hnv-; Ing been sent to Washington, may , cause serious delays and make II difficult now to send impoitant information to the proper persons. What percentage of next of kin of the 328.000 overseas deceased of the armed forces may have changed their place of resident Is Impossible to estimate, but the war department believes it may be large. The following suggests ms regarding co rcctioii of pnwnt addresses are made by the war department: To those next of kin who received notice of death from the war department, tho correct present address should be mailed at once to: Memorial Division. Office of The Quartermaster General, Washington 25, D. C.
