Photographs, newsreel and commentary examine the role of the Post Office in conveying messages and parcels from home to British Tommies in the trenches. An estimated two billion letters and parcels were delivered to the front during World War One. A dramatic monologue introduces Percy Bale, a post orderly in the Hampshire Regiment. He describes his daily duties at the front and the presents, such as woolly socks, chocolate, cigarettes and cakes, that friends and relatives put in their parcels.
