Description
1942 stampless cover to Rangoon, cancelled by Sandoway (Despatching Point) cds for 6 June, this cover demonstrating the collapse of the postal arrangements in Burma following the occupation, the amount paid for postage is shown in 'Cents' and taxed at '20 cents'. This is probably due to the district claiming its own autonomy and changed its currency. Backstamped Experimental P.O for 28 Jun, some light tones, still a most interesting cover, with the cover made from a ''Labour Commissioner, Burma Memorandum''.
