Civilian Internee Mail New Zealand to Changi

 

I bought this item recently on E-bay. It is significant for two reasons.

• Mail from New Zealand to the Far East WWII is scarce. Very few New Zealand people were in the Far East when the Japanese invaded, so mail is scarce. This item is to a British Civilian Internee from New Zealand.
• The Japanese Red Cross roundel is scarce because with very few exceptions, it was used only only one batch of mail sent through Tokyo.
