I know AFTER the war ended soldiers sent spoils of war home, but during the time they were fighting, was is commonplace for a soldier to send home packages? I know they sent vmail, but I am talking about boxes of things. My head is telling me no bc it would have been easy for a soldier to have sent home items telling family where they are... like a newspaper or a magazine or something that the censors wouldnt like? I am not saying it never happened, but am I wrong in thinking this or was it more common than I think?
