Canada Covers
|
|
Y Force Collection. WWII Canadian Army in Jamaica. Seven covers from Jamaica to Canada provide a good start to a collection in this field. Censor cancels include the small double circle numbered 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, a larger double circle No. 10 and the Winnipeg Grenadier oval; 3 covers are from Captain (later Major) A.B. Gresham with the Winnipeg Grenadiers, who was later sent to Hong Kong and died during the Japanese invasion. An eighth interesting cover was sent by a soldier in France in 1939 (FPO 33) to the Royal Bank of Canada in Kingston, Jamaica (long before any Canadian troops were in Jamaica so we assume it was somebody from Jamaica who joined up in the UK).
