I am trying to determine the earliest date for use of printed "PRISONER OF WAR-LETTER"/CENSORSHIP STAMP/Passed by Commandant" envelopes at Ahmednagar, Indiafor WWI.
I have seen published a cover dated 21 Oct 1914 and have in my collection 13 Oct 1914 based on Commandant's hand stamp.
The Indian National Archives show draft envelopes that do not look like the one ultimately printed and no availability date. Are their other sources?
Does anyone have earlier covers?
TY

I have many scans of items from POW camp in India during WWI:
I know to covers from 13 OCT. So not earlier than Yours. Sorry.
The two covers uploaded are both dated 13 Oct 14, which is the same date as mine. You said you have covers from Ahmednagar before this date, are they on camp postal stationery? I am looking for the earliest possible date.
Thank you.
Bob
I did not say I have covers from Ahmednagar before this date.
The earliest date I have so far recorded is this postcard.
I might have more scans, but at the moment i do not have time to sort them out.
