Falkland Islands Dependencies SG D1 1945 Operation Tabarin cover from South Shetlands to Stanley

Stock Code: P256000786

Operation Tabarin. 1945 (23 JA) incoming 'POST OFFICE' cover from the postmaster at Port Stanley, Tony Carey, to the postmaster of South Shetlands, franked by Falklands 1938-50 ½d black and green (vertical pair from the upper right corner with sheet number '0969'), tied by type PS.3B cds. The cover re-used and returned to Stanley franked by South Shetlands 1944-45 ½d black and green vertical pair, cancelled by type B3 cds in violet, dated '7 FEB 1945', with additional strike alongside. A fine and interesting cover. [The contents almost certainly comprised a batch of covers bearing the 1944-45 set of 8 (= SG D1/D8) sent out for postmarking, thus helping to establish British sovereignty in the area.]
