©Royal Mail Group Ltd 2014, courtesy of The Postal Museum, POST 30-3381A 75,000 General Post Office employees fought in the First World War including 12,000 workers who fought in their own regiment, The Post Office Rifles, (PORs).

©Royal Mail Group Ltd 2014, courtesy of The Postal Museum, St Martins le Grand, 1915 POST 92 This illustration from St Martins Le Grand, General Post Office magazine 1915 shows a Post Office Rifles dug out at the Front Line nicknamed ‘No 1. Harley Street’.

©Courtesy of The Peace Pledge Union Over 400 General Post Office employees became Conscientious Objectors. Henry Horace Peacock was a letter sorter and a deeply religious man. Ordered to report to Mill Barracks in 1917 he refused to obey orders, pick up arms, put on a uniform or sign documents. As a result he was sentenced to hard labour first in Wormwood Scrubs and then in Dartmoor Prison Camp where he spent the rest of the war. Henry is not in this photograph of conscientious objectors at Dartmoor Prison.

©Royal Mail Group Ltd 2014, courtesy of The Postal Museum, St Martin’s Le Grand, 1916, POST 92 Many postal workers who had left to fight were taken captive. Outward bound mail for British POWs (and inward bound mail for German POWS) passed through neutral Holland.

©The Postal Museum, PH11.12 This postcard from a British Prisoner of War was sent home to his mother. All correspondence to German POWs was examined in a special laboratory to detect secret writing. In Britain, enemy prisoners could only write on glazed patterned paper that prevented the use of invisible ink. No envelopes and very few photographs or pictures were allowed.

©The Postal Museum, 2007-0140.5 This is the battlefield will of Post Office Rifle Leonard Eldridge. In it he leaves his army pay to his mother and his plant to his girlfriend. It was often the case that due to their young age soldiers had very little to leave to their loved ones.

©The Postal Museum, 2007-0141 Private William Cox sent home this OXO tin containing the GPO button from the uniform of a friend killed in action and a piece of shell, that in the accompanying letter he described ‘burst over the office and dropped in the yard’.

©Royal Mail Group Ltd 2014, courtesy of The Postal Museum, St Martin’s Le Grand, 1917, POST 92 This is a winning design for a Roll of Honour erected by the General Post Office in 1917. Most General Post Office building, sorting offices and Post Offices were given war memorials to honour workers who had fought and fallen.
