Christmas parcel mailing rules for 1945 outlined by services
The War and Navy Departments set timing for Christmas parcels to Army personnel from September 1 to October 15, with Navy policy urging year round overseas packs and a latest mailing date of October 15 for all Christmas parcels. Coast Guard and Marine Corps likewise may receive parcels any time with no special request required, while Army and Navy size and weight limits apply. No guaranteed delivery due to vast distances and combat tempo, but all mail will be processed as fast as possible.
