CM 1 + CM 2
Afternoon Team
Today's post is later than planned but I 'discovered' a Manchester based Ebayer who had a considerable listing of censor material, which I promptly 'farmed' . I did actually purchase something as well a RND cover from Gallipoli. But not a RND chap, London Regiment attached, even better.
For today I show dual use of CM 1 & CM 2, used on the 23 January 1915. First use of CM 1 in 1915 I record, CM 2 was introduced 20 December 1914, I currently record used 24 December. Both the CM 1 & CM 2 are not recorded by F Daniel. F D records some CM 1 but very patchy details.
As shown the FPO is not 100% as is the CM 2 strike, I've looked at both at 300% zoom and they look pretty good.
Censor No 1151
Field Post Office 10? - 23 January 1915
Also Censor 2 / 2038
Not listed by FD Also 2 / 2038 not listed
Enjoy and comment if anyone can shed light on this late use, looking for further examples of CM 1. Chris
