As part of my studies in the censor series and quest for scans etc, I'm currently working my way through the back journals, this one came in as a Query back in Journal 304, I record no other example, has anyone seen this censor?

Censor No 3414
German Civil Cancel - 22 . 3. 1920
Hi! Can anyone help me with some information regarding this undeliverable and returned letter to Ta Kali, Malta in 1941, please. The postage rate, 1 1/2 pence, is this the correct surface rate to Malta at this time? What does the abbreviation S.H.A. mean?
Best Regards Tommy Samuelsson

As part of 'farming' the net one comes across many interesting items.
I show one such, A Naval Censor? I guess
Chris
Illustrated is the censor mark Nick refers to which includes R.M.A. and is obviously a naval censor mark shown in Michael Gould's book at 3B26.
Gould remarks that examples with the R.M.A. cut out, like yours are "known from early July 1915". However an illustration of this variation he shows at 5A75 also has the 'LIEUTENANT' omitted which he says has been seen on the same correspondence.
I do not have either of the omitted versions
The three examples I have of the illustrated cover are to different addressees and with dates 7.6.15, 31.7.15 and 3.10.15varying from 3.10.15
Not sure we have moved the discussion on at all !
Cheers

Hi That is the correct 1oz letter rate to a member of HM Forces.
