Dear All,
see attached item, with a British PC22 censor label and FPHS A2 military censor handstamp, on a cover from Belfast to Dublin.
The PC22 was in use on civil press mail from Oct 39 - Nov 40 (according to Morenweiser CCSG book).
Does anyone have explanations?
best wishes, Peter
Hello Peter,
Yes rather unusual this and I do not have the answer. I assume the sender must have been serving with the Army ,hence the initial censor 2525 as a Unit cachet. So you would then assume this would have gone to the Post office (Civil) for onwards delivery.
I would expect a PC90 (Belfast to Dublin) - but even with the PC22, there is no answer about why this is further tied with a Unit censor cachet 2424.
Hopefully someone else will answer?

Hello Peter
With two different numbered unit censor hand-stamps perhaps that where the answer lies.
Does anyone have details of the units using these particular numbers?
