Censor 6/3414
Morning Team
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
This cover from Flensburg was cancelled during the plebiscite period on 22 March 1920 with censor stamp C6/3414. The censor stamp was presumably used to authenticate entitlement to free postage as Forces Mail, which it seems was not accepted by the Germans, hence the blue “40” as postage due. Was the censor stamp C6/3414 used by the 1st Battalion The Sherwood Foresters, who were part of the British Plebiscite Force, or any other unit involved with the Slesvig Plebiscite?
