Echelon Required For Soldiers' Mail
Now that the units of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force are divided — the 1st Echelon in Egypt and the 2nd Echelon in England-it will be necessary to mark the number of the échelon distinctly on letters being sent to soldiers overseas. The Postmaster-General, the Hon. P. C. Webb, emphasises the necessity for the use of the full address on any letter or patcel for troops overseas and, in addition, the number of the échelon with which those men sailed. It letters and parcels are not marked "1st Echelon’ or "2nd Echelon," as the case may be, considerable delay may be caused by despatching such mail to the wrong country. Full and accurate addresses are of great help to postal officials both in New Zealand and overseas.
