More on CM 6
Morning Team
Today's daily dose of CM6 covers a post war cover from 1919. Censorship didn't cease after the 11 November 1918, it gradually wound down, in the later stages of 1919 was probally more to 'prove' entitlement to free postage.
The cover is from D 30 in July 1919, a new LRD by some two months. It looks like a reused envelope with DRS in crayon standing 'Dispatch Rider Service' It shows what looks like censor 1482, however the 4 is poor. This is one of the problems with these censors, finding a clear strike. However a number of examples should exist through the security swaps IV to VI. I'm not sure yet how many different censors were working out of and using the Division FPO I suspect a number at this stage.
Enough of typing, let the cover speak... Chris
