WHEN a man is wounded in 'action or seriously ill,
he is rushed through field and base hospitals with
all possible speed, to the place where most effective treat-
ment can be given. Because of this rapid movement, his
mail may not "catch up" for some time, yet, if ever he
longed for a letter from home, it is at such a time.
To offset possible delays, a new "Short -Cut" mail
service; has been put into effect. A Priority Casualty Card
is filled in and rushed by Air Mail to his friends or
relatives with instructions to add the words "In Hospital"
to the unit address they usually use.

Letters mailed from Canada bearing the wards "in
Hospital" are routed direct to the records office in the
United Kingdom or the Cent'r'al Mediterranean Force, cos
the case may be. They are given preference in transport,
whether sent by Air Mail or regular mail. Thus they will
reach the addressee faster than ever before.
It is inevitable that in tracing men who have been .
moved, or wounded, some delays occur. But you can rest
assured everything that can mean speedier deliveries of
letters to your igen is being well and thoroughly done-
and will be done.
When 'you get a Priority Casualty Card be sure the
words `In Hospital" are added to the ,regular unit address
when writing overseas.
