CHRISTMAS PARCELS FOR MEN
ABROAD.
General Information and Instructions.
Families of men in service abroad are
eager to make Chirstmas overseas as
merrv ns conditions permit. —
The war department, realizing this.
has decided that each man may receive
from his family a Christmas package of
standard size and approximately stand
ard contents.
The American Red Cross will prepare
these parcels for mailing, an arrangement
having been completed l>etween the war
department and the cost office depart
ment and the Red Cross.
Shipping space available will permit
the sending of but one parcel to each
man.
To avoid any duplication and to make
sure that each parcel is correctly ad
dressed, a "Christmas Label" is now being
issued to every man abroad.
Every man abroad will mail his
"Christmas Parcel Label" from a man in
tive or friend who will be entitled to
send him a parcel by complying with the
conditions herein set forth.
The relative or friend who receives a
"Christmas Parcel Lbe!" from a man in
service overseas, will apply to the near
est chapter, branch or auxiliary of the
Red Cross, or to such other Christmas
Parcel Station as may be designated by
his Red Cross chapter, and upon showing
the "Christms Parcel T-abol" will receive
one carton. 3x4x9 inches in size. It will
be easy to ascertain from the newspapers
whether cartons have l>een received at
the Christmas Parrel Station. Applica
tion should not be ms !» until carton* are
on hand.
Specially mnufacttu-H cartons for this
purpose will lie sec* to chapters from
and will be dis
