P.O.W. Cover. Mailed from Fresno, CA on Sep 5 1943, to Private Ernest Myers,
interned in the Philippines Islands, care of the Japanese Red Cross, Tokyo,
interesting DAVAO camp h.s. in violet, U.S. and Japan censor tape, with
enclosure.
The handstamped
"DAVAO" is scarce to very scarce. The second one that I have seen, the
first was ages ago. The "1" bid which I copied from the seller's eBay page
could be an error - not unless improper bumping was done on this lot. |

P.O.W. Cover From U.S. Mailed from Salinas, CA on May 26, 1943, to Pvt.
Eugene Rawson, formerly of the Philippine Islands, Tokyo Red Cross h.s.
in violet, U.S. and Japan censor tape or h.s., "returned to sender" and
"status changed to deceased" markings on reverse dated Nov 2 1945.
Manuscript
"D" on front to signify "Dead" (not Davao) and the markings on verso (Sadly
no image is available). This is more Japan POW related as the cover did
not reach the Philippines. |
