Prisoner or War Mail
Hong Kong
Incoming P.O.W. Mail
From U.K.: 1942 (c.) stampless envelope to Capt. George Simon at Fort Davis and marked "prisoner-of-war" and please forward to camp". The envelope is without postal marking but sent from German occupied Jersey with German censor seal and handstamps code "b" (allocated to Bordeaux) on the reverse. Redirected to "Try P.O.W." suggests that this may have been initially directed to the civilian camp. With Hong Kong Prisoner of War Camp handstamp in blue with large Hasegawa seal in red, "N" in red crayon for Camp N in Argyle Street and other manuscript notation. An interesting and rare cover. Tett fig. 4-2-7. Photo
