Help The Dead-Letter Office
ARGE numbers of letters posted in New Zealand are now being returned from the United Kingdom and other overseas countries marked "Gone Away" and the return of these by the Dead Letter Office to the senders is being hindered in many cases owing to the absence of the senders’ surnames and addresses. Even in ordinary times, the Post Office requests senders of all letters to show their surnames and addresses on the covers so that return to them is ensured in the event of non-delivery. In wartime and particularly in the case of letters to overseas addresses, the need for compliance in’ this respect is considerably greater. There is in fact a Censorship provision covering this matter. Shortly after the outbreak of war, the Censorship Authorities stipulated that the name and address of the writer were to be shown on the back of the cover of every letter for overseas.
