Canada Covers

Japanese Interment Mail WWII - British Columbia Postal History. A quartet of BC covers, each with a connection to Japanese Internment in British Columbia during the second world war. The first cover, sent from Westbank BC on August 23rd 1944 and sent to “The New Canadian” in Kaslo BC, opened by censor. The second item is a postcard, sent from Chapleau ONT on July 27th 1942 to Miss Sumi Nobuoka in Kaslo BC (with censor handstamp). The last two items are probable Japanese internment covers, posted from Slocan BC in 1944 with dual censorship to the Red Cross POW Agency in Switzerland (further research is needed on these two to determine if the Canadian censor tapes were by Japanese fluent censors). A very tough to find group, seldom offered. Estimate =
