WWI Censorship used in WWII
Team
Lets awaken the WWII Brigade,
As the title says this addresses use of WWI Censor marks in WWII, CM 3
The cover shows use of CM 3 / 4521, FD recorded use of CM 3 up to 4542, but with incomplete records in this range, I record above 4500 used in Salonika, (still records to check.) Currently no record of 4521 in WWI.
This raises the question, was it part of a block sent out to Salonika or retained in London, An earlier post showed GRO records, where instructions were given for the censor handstamp number was to be destroyed in theatre. (CM 4) So was that aplicable for CM 3, If sent out looks like the stamps were sent back to London and stored. In that case others may exist for WWII.
Who said the Censorship question was easy !
The screenshot shown below is from the Newsletter back in 1994, there may be responses beyond this but I've not seem anything yet.
