Type 7 Censor No 305

[Chris Grimshaw]

Hi All

As part of my research covering the Salonika & Army of the Black Sea period have been looking at usage of censor 7/305, unallocated by FD & JS.

This censor is usually found in Green on mail which have gone through Base APO X, found on mail which is unsigned,  unclear FPO or APO Datestamp or unreadable unit censor mark.

One Registered cover I have also has a Base Censor Label.  I suspect that this censor was used by the Chief Base Censor or at least a Base Censor.

Censor 3/4516, also unallocated by FD is also found used in the same fashion and was probally replaced by 7/305.

Friends comments welcomed.

Cheers

Chris
