 POSTAL HISTORY: 1942 (Aug 10) Japanese Occupation unfranked cover from Chittagong, Bengal, India addressed to "Capt Suman Chowdry
(Medical), of No.1 Burma Staging Section, Last heard of: MYITKYINA, BURMA, c/o Japanese Red Cross Society, Tokyo", censored at Bombay with 'DHB/168' cachet, presumably where the 'C/O PRISONER OF WAR INFORMATION BUREAU TOKYO' handstamp in the same ink
was applied, resealed with brown tape at left tied by 'PASSED' handstamp, '.../29-7-43/MYITKYINA' arrival backstamp (almost one full year after being posted) and postage due marking, redirected to "Rangoon/DLO" [Dead Letter Office] with
'20-8-43/D.L.O. RANGOON' boxed backstamp, some edge faults & other blemishes. Rare: possibly the only surviving item from this scarce mailing that ever reached Burma. (2 items)
David Tett at p9-12 illustrates three similar items - none of which show any evidence of having reached Burma - and quotes an article by Dr S Chowdhury in the Stamp Digest (Calcutta) of Jan-Feb 1971 [a photocopy - illustrating this item - is included
here] which states that "In August 1942, Government of India arranged with the International Red Cross Society to despatch letters to all persons, military as well as civil, known to be left in Burma ... As all the letters were dated August 1942, it
is assumed that only one batch was despatched". The enclosed letter from his brother with the same censor cachet states in part "We have come to know by a letter from Doctor Suhinder Singh MBBS (Rangoon) that you were last seen in Myitkyina ..."
[where refugees from other parts gathered in the north to flee via the mountain passes into India; it was the last major city to be captured by the Japanese]. (Image1) (Image2)
