Pair of covers with unauthorized "Taxe de Guerre War Tax" rubber handstamps, the first on a Feb 1916 cover with a blue marking used from Winnipeg to a local address (cover tear at upper left), the second with a different sized but similar design "Taxe de Guerre War Tax" in pink on a Nov 1915 cover from St. Boniface, Man to Winnipeg). Given the confusion surrounding the initial rules that mandated that only War tax stamps be used and if not were charged postage due, perhaps this was an attempt to make it clear that the War Tax was paid. (I didnÕt have one of these covers in my personal War Tax collection, let along two different ones). A rare pair. (Image)
