After that was filed at your local Post Office, every letter sent to your old address had to be redirected to the new one, and that went on until your correspondents were familiar with your new location. Probably you didn't move very often, but each Aim you did, the Post Office gave redirecto,ry service. And if you will think about that for a moment, you will begin to see what a stupendous task confronts the Canadian Postal Corps in han- dling the military Snails, when thousands of men are being moved almost daily! Yet, in spite of the need of tracing men from reinforcement units to their locations on fighting fronts . in spite of the need of tracing them through hospitalization ... or while on leave ... when. their unit is moved ... in spite of delays in air nail service caused by adverse flying conditions ... of delays in surface transportation caused by enemy action er SETTERS OVERSEAS LAST YEAR in spite of .every war hazard you can think of ... your Post Office and the Canadian Postal Corps delivered 31,500,000 letters to men overseas in 1943! It is inevitable that, in tracing men who have been moved, or wounded, some delays occur. It is inevitable that enemy action holds up delivery in some cases. But everything that human ingenuity and effort can do to give yoft a service that means speedier delivery of the letters your men are waiting for, is being well and thoroughly done, and will be done. New methods of speeding mail deliveries are being put into effect, new possibilities are being studied. Think of your own friends who have been posted to new locations overseas, and realize the task of tracing them when their mail arrives at their former address! You can help your Post Office and the Canadian Postal Corps to give even better service if you will take a moment to make sure that your Snail is correctly prepared. Do these simple . r si 0 1. Always be sure each letter or parcel (properly packed) is /ally and correctly addressed. 2. Use light -weight paper for regular. Air Mail, or use the Armed Forces Air Letter Fortis. Airgraph letters take a little longer because they must be processed in Canada and overseas. 3. To men in hospital, mark your letter "In Hospital", if you are advised to this effect. 4. Never put into parcels perishable food, or any substance that can he damaged by extremes of temperature, 5,,,yerea ae4 t'45000 ST IFI! Issued by the authority of HON. W. P.
