 1945 (Sep 5) Indian-pattern 'AIR MAIL/LETTER CARD' to Australia with unusually fine strike of the Indian-pattern 'FPO/No 46' cds
used on Cocos, to a member of "8 Aust Emp Coy/AUSTRALIA", self-censored by Lt Alan Benson who states "... the war is over at long last ... air passages are very precious & difficult to get ... could [you] send me a few food parcels ... big stores do
the packing & despatch for you ... What an ingenious new name you have chosen ...", a bit of wear. Virtually all such items seen are addressed to Britain. This is presumably addressed to a Jewish refugee 'Dunera Boy', who were sent from Britain
aboard the infamous 'Dunera' to internment camps in Australia. Hundreds were released to serve with the Australian Army's Employment Companies, where many of them anglicised their names. Sold at our online auction Number 7 for $718. (Image1) (Image2)
