A bit behind schedule.

It really ought to have been a few days ago, but we haven't been in the Post Office for many a long moon.
BUT how times have changed. Pre-war, obviously, most, if not all the staff were male. Now I doubt if I've seen a couple of blokes in, in the last five years. Then again, one is forced to wonder what the staffing level was that they could "lose" four of their staff and what % that was of the total.

World War I "The Entente Powers (also known as the Allies) lost about 6 million military personnel while the Central Powers lost about 4 million. At least 2 million died from diseases and 6 million went missing, presumed dead. This article lists the casualties of the belligerent powers based on official published sources. About two-thirds of military deaths in World War I were in battle, unlike the conflicts that took place in the 19th century when the majority of deaths were due to disease."

World War II "was the deadliest military conflict in history. Over 60 million people were killed, which was over 3% of the 1939 world population."

NOT a pleasant thought. You'd have thought they would have learnt SOMETHING first time around.
