2nd September 1943
POW Camp 28, Yol

​

Cover sent from Rome to an Italian POW (via Bombay) in Camp 28, Yol, northern India. Featuring Italian and British censors (and what looks like German red numbered hand stamps and ribbed closure tape - DVB1.4). Note that there has been a postage stamp revoved (upper right edge), most likely by the British censors in India looking for hidden messages. The date on the Italian cancellation is the day before the Italian surrender to the Allies - the Armistice of Cassibile. Ref: 02.09.1943 - 33/79
