This cover is dated December 5, 1941. I've looked in various places, and found a few similar covers with the "Department of the Army / Concession Postal Rate" hand stamp, though others are slightly different. Note the nice Censor 353 block that appears to be signed by D. M. Arney. I hope to see more posted here.  I can't quite make out the cancellation. Perhaps "BASE P.O.  -018"  |

( Seems TSF does not allow a link to Ebay item numbers) Very nice. Like mine, it appears that whenever a Military Censor print was applied, the person signed it to show that it was completed properly. Neat. Thanks for posting. |
