1942, Jan 12. Censored cover to Buxton (Great Britain), bearing Great Britain 1d. (2) and 3d., tied by bilingual Addis Ababa datestamps. Exceedingly scarce mail in the period February-March 1942. S.G. 463, 467. The Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement signed on 31.1.1942 recognized Ethiopia as an independent state. British stamps were no more on sale and the Addis Abeba Ethiopian civilian post office started its activity. Therefore covers of the period February-March 1942 franked with British stamps are extremely scarce.
