 1917 (March 17) OHMS envelope with superb strike of the 'GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS/ LIVERPOOL/No ......../N.S.WALES' handstamp in
blue at lower-left and 'Civils/[initials]' black/blue pert-perforated label affixed at upper-left, to the Swiss Red Cross with Kangaroos Third Wmk 3d Die II punctured 'OS' tied by very fine 'LIVERPOOL/NSW' cds, central vertical fold & small repaired
scissor-cut at right both clear of the stamp & markings. The 'Civils' label apparently identified the letter as not from a Prisoner of War and therefore not requiring censorship. The ACSC does not price the Die II 'OS' on cover; non-'OS' Die IIs are
priced at five-times Die I on cover, which would extrapolate to a catalogue value of $1750. (Image1) (Image2)

 1918 (mid) stampless OAS cover to NSW with very fine strike of the rare double-boxed 'PASSED BY/SHIPS CENSOR/HMAS.....' cachet
(49x22mm) with illegible notation in the space for the ship's name, superb 'A.I.FORCES POSTAGE FREE/5AU18/VIC' arrival backstamp, very minor blemishes. The only example we have seen of this cachet, and possibly the only recorded example. The only
reference we could find was in Bob Emery's Supplement at p172 where it is illustrated ("exact size unknown") & stated used in conjunction with the backstamp of 5AU18, presumably a reference to this cover. (Image1)
