Postal workers at the Terminal Annex pose in front of a large bin containing Christmas packages being processed for delivery. Most of the packages are wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. A few have Christmas wrapping and Christmas-decorated address labels. One of the canvas bins in the foreground has "Not for trash" stamped on it. Verso of the photo states: "Terminal Annex postoffice workers find themselves snowed under by this mountain of Christmas mail that has required the doubling of the office's personnel, swelled by 2200 soldiers." Photo dated: Dec. 21, 1944.
