HOW TO ADDRESS SOLDIERS’ MAIL Change In Addressing Mail for Troops Overseas and In Canada Postmaster General Honourable W. P. Mulock announces that owing to the recently authorized change in the title of the military forces of Canada, the designation "Canadian Army” will now be used instead of "Canadian Ac tive Service Force (C.A.S.F.)”. Mail for sbldiers.on active service .should, therefore, now be addressed as fol lows: Mail For Delivery Overseas The designation "C.A.S.F., cjo Base Posit Office, Canada” is to be omitted and the words "Canadian Army Over seas” substituted therefor, as follows: Regimental No., rank and name Name and details of Unit (i.e., Com pany or Section, Squadron, Battery, Holding Unit, Etc.) Name of Regiment or Branch or Service Canadian Army Overseas. Foi' example: K-52937, Pte. John Blank, “B” Company, Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, Canadian Army Overseas. B-12345, Cpl. A. J. Jones, 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, Canadian Army Overseas. M-54321, Sigmn. John Smith, No. 3 Company, 2nd Div. Signals, Royal Canadian Corps of Signals,, Canadian Army Overseas. Note—If a soldier is overseas the word "Overseas” must appear in the address, but no place name. Mail For Delivery In Canada The usual complete particulars — regimental number, rank and name and details of unit and name of regi ment or branch of service, and, in ad dition, the Post Office name of the- place in Canada where the soldier is- stationed, must be given. For example: C-13962, Pte. Joseph Wood, No. 7 Field Hygiene Section, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps,. Debert -F.P.O., N.S. G-12345, Gnr. John Jones, 15th Heavy Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery, Saint John, N.B. Note—If a soldier is in Canada, the name of the place at which he is sta tioned must appear in the address. The regimental numbers and names given in the examples are, of course, fictitious and are merely used to illus trate the correct method of addressing mail. Until such time as the new method of addressing becomes generally known, mail bearing the destination "C.A.S.F." will as heretofore be des patched to destinations, but the public, 'should immediately adopt the new- method when addressing letters, par cels and other mail to members of the' Canadian Army, either Overseas or.- stationed in Canada. True humility is not an abject', grov--- eling, self-despising spirit; it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.—Tyron Edwards.
