 CENSORSHIP "TRIANGLE" MARKS ON G.B. MENTAL HOSPITAL INMATE'S MAIL; Intriguing original 1929/40 correspondence with G.B. KGV
frankings to/from a Mr. P.W. Alexander of Portsmouth who was seriously mentally ill, including many to/from him at the Rampton Secure Mental Asylum in Notts. (near Retford), which was (and is) an extension of the more famous Broadmoor Hospital; 12
1930/34 covers from Alexander while in Rampton Institution (all sent to his mother "Mrs. Reid" in Gosport/Bognor) have handstruck 'hollow triangle' marks (in purple or black) that have been identified as the Prison 'censor' marks of Rampton, which we
do not recall ever having seen before. Likewise 10 covers and a telegram envelope all addressed to him at Rampton have been initialled on the front (presumably again by the censors). One cover has a letter written by Alexander himself, and some items
show that he was surprisingly called up for active service at the start of WWII. A little-known aspect of peace-time censorship and a rare archive. [With copy of 2006 C.C.S.G. Bulletin article about this lot.] (36 covers) Cross Reference:
