First Batch of POW Letters Heads for U S

The mail arrived at an Army post office as the Communists handed over more than 800 letters to United Nations delegates at Panmunjom. It was not certain if all letters would be released for forwarding. Some envelopes were white while others from the Communists had red or blue borders and a dove of peace image. The letters were grouped by state headings in an orange bag labeled POW Mail Express.
