    I have just been cataloging letters home from a Canadian soldier in the first world war.

    All of them are addressed to:

    Mrs. L. Moore Douglas, Ont. Canada

    And clearly, since his mother saved them all, they were all delivered properly.

      Probably there was just one Moore in Douglas with a son in the service. Else it’s the postman recognition the handwriting after doing a ton of legwork for the 1st (few) letter
