Members Discussion Forum / Boxer Rebellion China / Austrian Troops
April 08, 2023, 11:36:42 AM
Hello All,
I've come accross a few postcards apparently from a member of the Austrian troops in Beijing related to the Boxer rebellion. The guards used a postmark "Gesandtschafts Wachdetachement Peking". Does anyone have more information on this?

Members Discussion Forum / WW2 Ireland PC22 and military censor handstamp
January 21, 2023, 04:40:55 PM
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

Chris, you probably know this already: the red wafer seal on the reverse is from the Turkish censor.

Hi Chris
yes, this is a standard censor mark of Armeé d'Orient, but they are rare. I know of 9 different numbers in the range 41-69. It seems they were issued in Autumn 1917, but then replaced by the oval "CONTROLÉ par l'authorité militaire" (numbers 1-10) in early 1918. Would you have a scan of the reverse side as well?

Hello All
see attached item. Given that "Geopend" is a Dutch word, and given the item went from Amersfoort to The Hague (both within the Netherlands) I assume the censor label is from the Dutch Military. Can anyone confirm?
What makes me also wonder: why was this item censored? It should have taken a route far away from the Belgian border and the ongoing war. Anyone has an idea?

Hello All, have found an interesting label on a cover to a US Army person in April 1945. Does anyone know more about this label and its function?

Members Discussion Forum / Belgian censor mark 1945?

Hello All
on the attached item there is a censor mark "CONTROLÉ / TOEZICHT". The first word is in French, the second word is in Dutch, both mean control or monitoring. Given this combination of languages I would place this mark to Belgian origin. Can anyone confirm that this is a Belgian mark? Perhaps even with a reference to an article or a book?
