This leather mailbag was used to carry letter and parcels to the front lines. The Canadian Postal Corps (CPC) delivered mail directly to the front lines whenever possible, even though it could be a dangerous task.

In 1918 alone, the CPC delivered 43,136,750 letters and 1,396,000 parcels to Canadian troops fighting in France.
