The history that we should not forget

memorial, material, remember, following, volunteers

本帖最后由 dowager1894 于 2015-8-13 10:46 编辑

In a few days, it would be the memorial day of Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. I would like to share some of material to the friends, we should not forget the history.

The following item was carried by American volunteers so that they can show it to Chinese people for help if they were shot down.
I remember that I read an article about this item long time ago, now I feel proud to own one piece of history even it is not rare item.
I think this item is related with American Volunteer Group (AVG) who helped us to fight against Japan. The most famous unit is the 1st AVG known as Flying Tigers (飞虎队）。

For this special flag item, I think the seller did not want to risk his money as it may be confiscated by China Customs. (可能会被海关没收）。

I bought a similar flag for my friend in China on eBay this summer. The seller did not want to ship his items for sale on eBay to China. My friend needs my help to bid and then ship the flag to him. Do you know why some American sellers on eBay refuse to ship their items to China?

That's an interesting cover with Postage Due and then crossed due to there is no airmail service.

this one was same day from Shanghai as your one , they were in the same route but it was to Australia, and it didn't have HK postmark

this one is interesting, when it was sent out from Shanghai on 3/12/41, it was treated as an airmail with postage due at 40 cents (360-320), but before it arrived in HK, the Pacific War had started and it had no chance to get on HK, or maybe it got on HK 8/12/41 , and then the postage due was crossed off as the airmail was crossed off, but we don't know how it got to Calcutta, throught rangoon or from Kunming

This is an air mail sent from Cheng Du (12/3/1941) to Rangoon/Burma. It did not go through Hong Kong, so it got delivered to Burma on 12/10/2014. It was transitioned in Chung King (12/4/1941).

This one is not lucky as it detained within Hong Kong for a long time before it got returned to sender later. But from collector's point, this letter is much valuable.

The letter was sent from Hong Kong to USA, postmarked on 12/4/1941 in Hong Kong/Kowloon and Hong Kong/Victoria on 12/4/1941, But before it was sent to USA, Japanese attacked Hong Kong and captured it. Then the covered was detained in Hong Kong. It carried various marks on the cover:
"Not Opened By Censor", No Service", "Detained in Hong Kong BY Japanese from December 1941 to September 1945" and "Retour"
On the back it also has Japanese style postmark 九 17.2.12 (昭和17年-1942), It seems that letter was tried to return to the sender in 1942 but failed since the sender was left Hong Kong. Is it right

Here is a cover sent from Shanghai (11/20/1941), transition by Hong Kong (11/24/1941) and then delivered to Rangoon on 12/9/1941.

The letter is lucky enough to pass through Hong Kong before Japanese' attack. Base on the dates from Hong Kong to Rangoon, I think it is delivered with ship rather than the air mail.

Who has more information about the ship routine from Hong Kong to Rangoon When did the last ship leave Hong Kong

There are several censor strips and marks on the cover.
