Do You Know: What is the address HM fleet in foreign waters? (colour litho)
8668132 Do You Know: What is the address HM fleet in foreign waters? (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: What is the address HM fleet in foreign waters? The General Post Office, St Martin's Le Grand, London, is the address of His Majesty's fleet whilst in foreign waters. There are two reasons for this, the main one being that Post Office officials are in possession of a programme of fleet movements, and may plan ahead where correspondence should be directed abroad, to avoid any undue delay. The other reason is that it preserves a certain amount of secrecy as to the location of any vessel, or unit, when it is considered desirable to suppress fleet information.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph print titled "Do You Know: What is the address HM fleet in foreign waters?" by the English School from the 20th century captures a fascinating piece of historical information. The illustration, part of a set of 50 "Do You Know?" cigarette cards issued by Carreras in 1939, sheds light on the intriguing practice of addressing His Majesty's fleet while in foreign waters.
The General Post Office at St Martin's Le Grand, London serves as the designated address for the fleet when abroad. This unique arrangement allows Post Office officials to stay informed about fleet movements and strategically direct correspondence to ensure timely delivery. Moreover, using this central address helps maintain a level of secrecy regarding the exact location of naval vessels or units when necessary for security reasons.
Through this educational artwork, viewers are not only treated to a visually captivating image but also gain insight into an aspect of military communication and logistics from a bygone era. The detailed depiction and informative caption provide a window into history and invite contemplation on how communication practices have evolved over time.
