Memorandum  on the steps taken to trace missing personnel. The document lists the way in which the War Office, Admiralty and the Air Ministry search for information on missing soldiers and sent it to the Wounded, Missing and Relatives Department of the Joint British Red Cross and Order of St. John. It assures relatives that "without any application on their part, every endeavour is being made both abroad and at home to trace missing personnel".
