This series comprises material on how the Post Office operated during wartime and civil emergencies. The greater part of the collection relates to the vital task of maintaining communications, including handling prisoners-of-war mail, censorship and civil defence arrangements during the First World War (1914 - 1918) and the Second World War (1939 - 1945). Among the early papers are documents relating to the South African War of 1899 - 1902 and some nineteenth century notices and field manuals of the Post Office Rifles Association.
Some records have been transferred from POST 14.
Please see The Postal Museum's online catalogue and BT Archives online catalogue for descriptions of individual records within this series.
