As conditions in Germany no longer allow of the transport and delivery of next-of-kin parcels, it has been decided, in agreement with the War Office and the G.P.O., that parcels, which are still in the hands of the G.P.O., in this country, shall be handed back to the Red Cross to be returned to the senders.
Under this arrangement your No. 44/3 parcel will shortly be returned to you. It will not be reopened by the Red Cross, but will be sent back to you exactly as it is received from the G.P.O.
