I became a post office messenger in August 1942 aged 14.I did 6 months on delivery in London WC1 and was then co-opted to indoor messenger at the Ministry of Information until the end of the war when I resumed delivery duties at the Covent Garden office until being ‘called up’ in August 1946. They were great times despite the war.
I met my future wife who was a telegraphist at the MOI and spent the rest of my civil service career at first in the post office and then in the Customs & Excise but my heart was always with the PO!I wonder if there are many of the old west central messengers still around.
