Large numbers of casualty telegrams are being retumed undelivered to The Adjutant Generals Office because addresses of friends or next of kin to be notified in emergency are incomplete or incorrect. Practically every case of non-delivery has been directly attributable to outdated addresses resulting from the failure of the emergency addressee to notify The Adjutant General of any change of address. More than 4.000 such casualty telegrams are delayed every month. Emergency addressees who have moved following the departure of the soldier for an overseas destination should write to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington 25, D. C., Attention: Casualty Branch, giving both the old and new address. Also included should be the soldier's full name, rank, serial number and his organization and APO number, Clie Centre Aemocrat, BELLEFONTE, PENNA. WALKER BROTHERS. .....cooon0euues ++ +++.
