MAILS ARRIVE
FORCES IN EGYPT
Advice received from the New Zealand Base Post Office in Egypt indicates that all surface mails for' the troops in the Middle East dispatched from the Dominion up to July 19 have been accounted for, stated the Post-master-General (the Hon. P. C. Webb) today. In a previous statement, the Minister said, he had referred to delay in transit of a considerable quantity of mail matter dispatched from NewZealand in May last, the delay having been caused by the diversion of the conveying vessels. The last of these delayed mails reached their destination between September 15 and 26. With the exception of 19 bags of letters and 98 bags of parcels dispatched from New Zealand between May 6 and 9 last and which were on board a vessel that failed to reach its destination, all outstanding mails for the forces have been accounted for.
