 1917-18 three unstamped covers to "M Aron/38 Company 9 Messe/German Concentration Camp/Liverpool" with Sydney machine cancels (two
with 'HELP TO WIN THE WAR/...' slogans) and 'CENSORED/GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMP/LIVERPOOL' cachet in violet or blue on the reverse, some mostly minor defects. Each with the accompanying letters from his brother "Sam" with comments such as "...I sent
to you yesterday...a parcel of 150 cigars...", "...I am coming out to see you...always do what the authorities demand of you and you will have no troubles..." Very interesting that one brother was interned while the other retained his freedom.
