G.B/Japan - P.O.W Mail. 1945 (Apr 24) 1½d Air Mail postal stationery Prisoner of War post card, posted from London to Signalman E.R Lammin in Hakodate Camp, Japan, with violet censored cachet of Hakodate and red censor chop (Tett type 6-11-202). This 1½d card was not issued until April 2nd 1945, and virtually none of these cards were received by P.O.Ws before the war ended in August; David Tett only records one other 1½d card with a Japanese censor, also sent to Hakodate.
