 1946 China-Manchuria Harbin blockade cover ex NZ, with 1d Peace (+ a 2nd adhesive subsequently lost in transit) ex South
Dunedin (?) JL 46 addressed to Harbin, China. Cover bears boxed 2-line cachet in red “Mail route to destination / blockaded, return to sender” (a quite good impression). Rear bears Chinese bilingual Changchun 17.9.35/24 cogwheel cds, Wellington C.1
/ Returned Letter Office 27 JA 47 cds & purple Return to Sender pointing finger cachet (& another on front). Good condition. Rare. Note 1: The Chinese d/s year “35” refers to the 35th year of the Chinese Republic, which commenced in 1911 following
the overthrow of the Chinese Empire. Note 2: Russian troops occupied Harbin & other parts of Manchuria after the USSR declared war on Japan on 8 Aug 1945. In April 1946, control of Harbin was passed to the Chinese communist army (the CPLA).
Changchun in Northeast China remained under control of the Chinese Nationalist forces & for a time there was no postal communication with Harbin (266 km away). Only 3 covers with this blockade cachet (applied in Shanghai, 2025 km from Harbin) were
recorded in a census in the Collectors’ Club journal of March/April 2011. This is likely to be a 4th example & the only one known from NZ. With copy of relevant article & map. (Image)
