SOLDIERS' MAILS
. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —May I, through the columns of your paper, ask whether the following is an isolated case or whether it is a common occurrence for Expeditionary Force papers to be undelivered to the addressee ? My brother was wounded and admitted! to hospital in England on 27th September, -and has been there ever since. I send five or more papers every week regularly, and up to 27th December not one had he received. Things .were bad enough regarding parcels in Egypt, where he never received one solitary parcel, until he arrived in France in April, in spite of our sending two and three every week from October, 1915. I am afraid a groat deal of time is spent in the Postal Department in patting themselves on the back over their wonderful (?) system, and if parcels and papers cannot be delivered, esspecially to wounded men, on the spot in England, we should be notified by the authorities here.—l am, etc., A SOLDIER'S SISTER: 21st February, 1917
