Postal Facilities To
Be Available To All
Uncle Sam's Forces
Regardless of Where Sta
tioned To Receive and
Send Mail
-®
ATLANTA, GA„—To prove that he
believes letters from home are es
sential, Uncle Sam now says that ev
en though a soldier is in the mist of
a combat zone he will get his mail
along with other Class I supplies,
such as food, medicine and other
combat items, according to Captain
Robert H. McCormack, chief of pos
tal section, adjutant general branch,
headquarters, fourth service com
mand.
This is the inauguration of the
firse large scale test of mobile postal
service in the war, and will be car
ried out for the duration. To this
purpose a complete army postal or
ganization accompanied the Ameri
can expeditionary Force to North
Africa, ana postal facilities were es
tablished almost as soon as landings
were effected. So effective is this
service that letters are already be
ing received in the United States from
the combat zones.
Careful planning ahead well in ad
vance of the campaign made it pos
sible to place in operation complete
postal facilities for the handling of
first class mail, air mail, registered
mail, parcel post and money orders,
Captain McCormack stated. V-mail
apparatus will soon be installed in
those theatres of operations.
