Title: November 1915 PO Notice
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on February 28, 2023, 04:21:42 PM
Afternoon Team, Friends and what currently appears to be a diminishing team of 'posters'

I show an original Post Office notice dated 11/15 detailing Letters and Parcels for the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. One sheet double sided packed with useful information.

I was fortunate lately to obtain 50 plus Gallipoli related items from a well known internet site and snapped them up.

Cheers  Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for posting this. It is interesting to read the parcel section 'It is recommended that parcels should be as nearly round as possible'- this must have been a challenge in packing as freight, or even into post office bags, I would imagine most were damaged on arrival.

Regards Peter
