W Force In Newfoundland Postage Rates ?

The covers from the Canadian W Force in Newfoundland during WW2 are well known. What I am having much more trouble finding are the postage rates that applied for members of the Armed forces serving there. Mail was handlesdthrough CAPOs numbers 1 to 5 and 10. The ones I have all have Newfoundland stamps on them

Did the canadians use Canadian currency to post their letters at the canadian Army Post Offices or Newfoundland currency.

Were the two currencies tied at parity or was there an exchange rate during the war.

Did all mail to Canada from the CAPOs go by air or was there less expensive surface mail - I have not seen any

Any info or web links would be most welcome.
