JAMAICA POSTAL CENSORSHIP

Imperial Censorship Labels: D Type

Towards the end of 1941, letter codes were introduced as a means of identification for the various
censorship stations within the British Colonies and Dominions. Jamaica was allocated the code "D",
and resealing labels bearing this code were introduced for use by the Imperial Censors in December.

A new cohort of 30 examiners arrived from London in November 1941, probably bringing the new
labels numbered 8801 to 8830 with them.
