Found these three covers in last weeks auction win. Initially found them interesting because I thought they may be military mail for a Canadian soldier (I'm sure someone can verify or disprove this for me) but then I noticed the stamps. They are Allied Military Postage overprinted Italy. Postmarked Messina February 12 1944 Next postmarked February 22 1944. This one is just a cover front. The last postmarked February 28 of the same year has back cancels and censor tape Tattered, but interesting. Any thoughts?

I have a couple of these tucked away somewhere. Now I know what they are, I should dig them out and add to collection.
