Whilst I applaud the great British public for their support of our forces in theatre, I feel a compromise could be made. Op Theatre mail takes a high priority in the system, quite rightly; however by 'clogging up ' the system with unsolicited mail they are stopping other 'vital' re-supplies from reaching the boys daily. Why not send these parcels to their local military base and let the unit concerned 'bid' for space on the frequent freighter AT runs. The people in theatre will still get their goody parcels but also receive much needed equipments and family mail. Just a thought!
