There is a type of Postmark, used in Johore Malaya during the BMA, which is described as 'made by the Royal Engineers'
my attempts to find the source of this description has drawn a blank !
Does anyone know please?
(I've had to crop the scan down to the postmark to fit the forum's limit)
THE POSTMARK ITSELF LOOKS NORMAL TO ME.
However the date slugs look rather "home made" - perhaps that is what a R.E. workshop was asked to produce?

thanks Alistair, normal but not quite the same as pre-war cancels.
it is likely because the Japs modified the pre-war cancels, and some lost their date slugs in the process
many thanks
