567 CVR   image1943 Hong Kong Postage Paid Cover to Canada, Forwarded to England, mailed (with the scarce POSTAGE PAID octagonal handstamp on back) by Arthur Lawrence Powell who had just been a POW at Camp Stanley in Hong Kong to someone working at a Vancouver BC high school (received there on SEP.28.1945), asking her to forward the cover to his wife, who had since moved to England. She then franked it with a 10c and 20c stamp paying the airmail rate to England and it was forwarded on SEP.29.1945. This franking handstamp was used in the short period after HK had resumed mail services on AUG.25.1945 and SEP.25.1945 when postage stamp use resumed. It was mainly reserved for the use of Stanley internment camp prisoners and military personnel. From the same correspondence as the previous lot. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans) (All Images)
