6. Captain Duncanasked the Secretary of State for War how many air-mail letters can be sent home from the Middle East each week by each soldier, sailor and airman; what are the reasons for rationing these letters; and whether there is any rationing of airgraphs.
§ Sir J. GriggThe number of air mail letters which soldiers in the Middle East may send home is being increased from five to six in each period of four weeks. The limited aircraft capacity available makes this rationing necessary. Airgraphs take up a much smaller space and it is possible to allow soldiers to send as many of these as they like.
