War Dept curbs parcel post to soldiers in France
The order requiring regimental or higher approval for sending packages to expeditionary forces was loosened so majors and above may approve shipments. A War Department inquiry found 5,000 sacks of parcel post goods mainly unnecessary, reaching £100,000 weekly. Relatives are urged to send money for purchases in France, where tobacco and many goods are available at lower prices through Army stores.
