Hi All.
I have been writing up my covers and i found this one.Looking though my Gould i think this maybe a cover posted from the Scottish Hospital Ship St Margaret of Scotland.Could anyone confirm this for me.There is nothing on the back of the cover.
Thank you in advance
Christopher
Sorry i forget to add the scan :'(

Hi Chris
I can confirm that your cover is from the hospital ship St Margaret of Scotland. The censor mark reads: 'T.H.L.J.' between 'PASSED' and 'CENSOR'. They are the initials of the Rev. Thomas Henry Leo Jellicoe (no relation to the Admiral), Chaplain, R.N.
I have two examples but both are indistinct, one being overstruck by the London machine Received From HM Ships etc, and the other poorly inked.
If anyone reading this has a good strike of the boxed mark I would appreciate a copy.
Regards,
Peter
