POSTAL HISTORY: 1942 (Feb 19) airmail cover from Durham, Great
Britain to "Royal Air Force/Headquarters/JAVA" redirected (where?)
to the RAF Liaison Officer in Melbourne with very fine 'RAAF/BASE
PO No1/8OC42/ MELBOURNE/AUST' arrival backstamp, forwarded again to
"Repatriation Sanitorium/McLeod Mont Park" (a polite euphemism for
the Mont Park mental asylum) with Melbourne machine cancel of
14OCT/1942, minor spotting at the base. An outstanding WWII
'Horseshoe' Route cover. Singapore fell to the Japanese on
15.2.1942. Some Allied personnel were able to escape to the Dutch
Indies where they were absorbed into the very short-lived American
British Dutch & Australian Command (ABDA). The Japanese invaded
Java 10.1.1942 and all resistance ceased 12.3.1942.
