The Army will start V mail by Photographing letters on film to save space on ships and speed delivery to far flung troops. Brig Gen Rose says hundreds of letters can fit on a small film roll and later enlarged for delivery. MAIL from home is a key morale builder, and V mail aims to keep troops connected despite losses at sea.

Postal address rules for overseas Army units
Mail for overseas units must go to the Army Post Office in care of the postmaster at New York Seattle San Francisco or another designated city depending on unit station never to a foreign city. Misaddressed letters reveal unit locations which are military secrets. In Guatemala three interior towns still use a Mayan calendar of 18 months of 20 days plus extra days to tally 365.
