PRISONERS OF WAR
NEW LETTERCARD SERVICE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, November 13. Tire introduction of a special lightweight air mail letter-card for communicating with New Zealand and other British prisoners of war interned abroad is announced by the Hon. P. C. Webb, Postmaster-General. The lettercards will be available at 1/6 (including postage) on Monday next. The Minister said that with good connections the letter-cards should reach Germany in about three to four weeks after their despatch. He stressed that the address should be accurately and clearly shown especially in writing to Germany and also that letters should be legibly written. Communications for prisoners of war which should contain only news of personal interest, should be posted well before the day of the closing of the air mail. Mr Webb added that the letter-card service would be additional to the existing facilities.
