Boer War 1901 (Feb 19): Cover from Barberton to Green Point Camp,
franked with Transvaal 1900 1 d. rose-red & green overprinted
'V.R.I.', addressed to the elusive "Mr A Gunning / Prisoner of War
/ Tent No. 14 (Transvaales) Greenpoint, Cape Town", censored on
departure with large double-lines violet oval "BURGHER CAMP /
BARBERTON" with "censored" and initials at centre, sent via
Pretoria (Feb 24) to Green Point Camp (March 1) where it was
censored on arrival, redirected north to Ladysmith Camp where it
was again censored and rectangular "PASSED / S.O.P. NATAL / CENSOR
/ P. of W." and triangular "PASSED / CENSOR P. OF W." applied, from
there sent to Diyatalawa Camp Ceylon where three separate censors
have applied their violet handstamp. One censor en route has
improvised some tape handstamping it "On H Majesty's Service"
(folded out for display). An extraordinary redirected cover,
showing eight censor marks on face, having travelled through four
camps. Remarkable and presumably unique
