Prisoner or War Mail
Japan
Zentsuji Camp - Incoming Mail
1943 (20 Apr.) envelope sent "Huryo Yubin" (Prisoner of War Post) to Louis Dixon from his wife in Manila and bears Manila No.1 postmark, there is a fair strike of the scarce Zentsuji Prisoner of War Camp Censored datestamp (28.5) in violet, a label over the address with Japanese script noting from Philippines prisoner of war camp to Zentsuji. A little soiled but very unusual intercamp mail and rare use if the censor datestamp. This letter took less than a month to be delivered. Tett fig. 6-3-48. Photo
