Prisoner or War Mail
Hong Kong
Civilian Mail - Outgoing Mail
1942 (27 June) bank envelope from Alice Anderson, Stanley Internment Camp, to East Mosley, Surrey, bearing 20s. Mount Fuji tied by a fine strike of the Hong Kong c.d.s., U.S. "139" and British "2661" censor seals at each side; redirected on arrival to the Isle of Wight and with Kingston slogan cancellation (12.10). Very early mail out of Stanley (the letter would have been written some time before the date of postmark) and scarce use of this Japanese stamp to pay the rate to foreign destinations. This letter would have been carried on the 'Gripsholm' and carried via New York. Tett fig. 4-5-2. Photo
