image 1941 Detained in Hong Kong AR Card, a Canadian AR card mailed from Duncan BC on NOV.10.1941 to Hong Kong, this AR card is franked with a 10c Memorial Chamber issue. Upon arrival in Hong Kong, it received a "Registered" c,d,s, dated NOV.22 (on back) and was put aside. At the end of the War, it also received a purple boxed "DETAINED IN HONG KONG / BY JAPANESE / FROM DECEMBER 1941 TO SEPTEMBER 1945" on front. There is also a red Japanese censor "chops" handstamp on back. A very rare card, as it was mailed during the fall of Hong Kong to the Japanese, and was likely only forwarded to its recipient sometime after the end of the War in 1945. The card is still mounted on a Gerald Wellburn album page, being a draft only, which he would have later written-up neatly in pen. (Image)
