POSTAL HISTORY: 1915 (March) commercial cover front to New Britain Corporation in Sydney with NWPI Kangaroos 2½d x3 (all damaged before being affixed) tied by two strikes of the straight-line 'Station Kieta' h/s in blue & overstruck with three of four strikes of the 'TULAGI/28MR15/BRITISH SOLOMON IDS' cds, part of the reverse still present with Sydney arrival b/s of 8AP15, vertical folds at left. A very rare cover: fine strikes of the postmark on loose stamp are worth $500+. [We have never seen usage of any other stamp with this marking, suggesting that at the time only the 2½d had been allocated to Kieta]
