HC Deb 28 June 1915 vol 72 cc1445-6
1. Mr. PETO

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he has as yet succeeded in establishing direct postal and parcel communication with the interned British seafarers in Turkey?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord Robert Cecil)

The answer is in the affirmative. Letters and parcels for British prisoners in Turkey should bear a clear indication of the name, rank or rating, and place of internment of the prisoner, if known, and addressed to him at the Central Post Office, Constantinople, care of the General Post Office, London. The Swiss postal administration has agreed to act as intermediary in the transmission of the correspondence.
