Mail, S.E.A.A.F. (Hansard, 27 February 1946)

HC Deb 27 February 1946 vol 419 c400W 400W

§ Mr. Callaghan
asked the Secretary of State for War the average length of time now taken by forces' mail to reach S.E.A.A.F.

§ Mr. Bellenger
The term S.E.A.A.F. includes R.A.F. units located over a wide area in South-East Asia. The transit time for air mail to the Command Headquarters S.E.A.A.F. has recently averaged 7 days. The length of time taken for mails to be delivered to a specific unit must of course depend on the location of the unit and its accessibility.
