The sudden death at Casablanca of Mr. Camille Vautier, has deprived the International Committee of the Red Cross of a particularly useful colleague who has rendered it the most distinguished services as delegate in Morocco. He started his activities in 1943 at a time when the ICRC had to carry out extremely heavy tasks on behalf of the victims of war throughout the world. Mr. Vautier made more than 90 visits to prisoner-of-war and civilian detention camps in Morocco. He took at the same time an active part in important distributions of relief organized in favour of German and Italian prisoners in French hands.
