1549

1942 (circa) Australian Red Cross 'Prisoner of War Post' Envelope with Thick Bar to "Major JRP Clark/Heavy Battery/.../Rabaul" with Melbourne censor label across the flap & boxed cachet, Japanese boxed censor chop in violet & endorsed "ZENT" in red pencil for delivery to the Zentsuji POW Camp at Kagawa on Shikoku Island, docketed "Recd 8/3/44 Written 11/42" at top (a normal transit time), a couple of very minor blemishes. Mail to or from those captured at Rabaul after it fell in January 1942 is extremely scarce: David Tett states (Vol 2 p4) that of the 964 Australian troops captured at Rabaul, 400 escaped back to Australia and 160 were massacred by the Japanese. The remaining 400 were initially forced to work on the wharf, the majority then shipped out to Hainan Island on 22.6.1942 on the transport ship 'Montevideo Maru', which was torpedoed & sunk by a US submarine off Luzon on 1.7.1942, with the loss of all prisoners on board. A few days later, sixty officers who had remained behind were shipped to Japan on the 'Naruto Maru', and housed in the Zentsuji Officers Camp. David Tett illustrates (Vol 2 p29) a Red Cross envelope sent to the same addressee received 11.3.1944. Apart from that item, this and the next Lot are the only other examples of mail we have seen to an Australian POW captured at Rabaul.
