1892 (May 24) Soldier's cover to India endorsed "From Syad Sajjad Husain. Hospital Asstistant. Hong Kong Regt Hong Kong - China" and countersigned by the Commanding Officer (Surgeon Captain A.L. Borradaile), addressed to the Treasurer of the "Deoli Irregular force", franked at the concessionary rate by 1882-96 2c carmine tied by "B62" obliterator and despatch cds, slight cover faults though a very rare concessionary rate usage, ex Gerald Sattin.
Note: Use of the "B62" obliterator was discontinued in 1885. It was, however, re-employed in an emergency when there was a large increase in correspondence with extra staff engaged and insufficient circular cancellers available for their use. Such a situation arose with the arrival of the nearly one thousand strong Hong Kong Regiment and soldiers writing to tell their families of their safe arrival. (Image)
