In Times of Trouble:
Wars, natural disasters, epidemics, and other types of adversity have an impact on mail, leaving behind objects that bear testament to history.
Pieces of mail that survive challenging circumstances such as these provide evidence of how normal communications were disrupted and how postal authorities coped with formidable obstacles. With the help of innovation ideas, clever inventions, and persistence on the part of postal employees, the mail usually managed to get through -- even during the most difficult times. |
