Prisoner of War , Internment Camps and Gibralta r Camp , Jamaica.

WIC 2. Typed covers.

Typed covers bore the same details as the manscript items .

One of two cover from Anne-Marie Weinberg, the first to South Africa with typed name
and address on the flap and Written in English . The second of her covers was to New
York; both covers bear Postal Censorship hanbdstamps, PC 2, Number 6 struck in purple
ink. Both covers are franked at 1/-, the first cover is dated the 3 rd March, 1942, the
second example bears an indecipherable date .

The covers show that by the dates they were typed the Camp had not received the later
handstamps, and both covers were charged 1/- postage in the absence of any markings
authorizing free postage. Prisoner of War mail that have attracted postage are rare, as
often the postal clerks "allowed" the mail to pass post free on seeing that a letter was
from a prisoner of war.
