Overseas Mail
transportation Is
Discussed By Army

There are good reasons why all
mail service from overseas is
speedier than the service in the op-
posite direction. Ninth service COM
mand officials pointed out today.
The matter of delayed delivery of
mail addressed to persons overseas
is explained many times a day by
the arny's efficient postal service.
The most important factor in de-
lay, they say, is the rapid advance
Letters destined for overseas,
therefore, usually must 60 through
the directory service to locate the
addressee. Their letters home are
delivered to a fixed address.
Mail is dispatched at regular in
tervals. However, on either side of
an ocean it must wait for transpor-
tation and daily letters will accu-
mulate as long as the mail must be
held for a ship.
Air mail too must wait. If planes
are available, the Oldest air mail
is shipped. When fast surface ves-
sci is about to make a journey, suf-
ficient letters. including delayed
air mail letters, are carried to clear
the backlog. AS consequence, let
tiers may not arrive in sequence. Air
mail dispatches Immediately fol-
lowing such surface shipments will
reach the addressee ahead of older
letters.
Personnel abroad are being ad-
vised to encourage their correspond
ents at home to use V-mail. V-mail
ALWAYS. moves by air, is faster
and, above all, eliminates usage of
valuable cargo space.
Every effort is made to deliver
mail to overseas hospitals speedily
However, evacuation to a hospital
smeans mail must be forwarded
from an original organization. This
may be complicated by another
series of transfers until the patient
reaches a permanent hospital and
can send his new address for direct
communication.
Mail from home, even few lines
a day, is the greatest morale build
er in the world. Keep those letters
coming, and try to understand the
delay in receiving replies. is the adj
vice of the army postal service.
1t may take time. but wherever
the army goes, the mail follows.
