1944 (22 July) type 3 Imperial Nippon Army card from Sgt. Dennis May to his wife in London bearing faint Iwasugi seal, the front with handstruck "Service Des/Prisonniers De Guerre" in violet and British "P.W. 4580" censor handstamp in red. Sent from Taihoku Camp 6 and it seems that the use of the typewriter was a privilege - here Dennis May was working as a tailor. Tett fig 5-6-31
