This is an original WWII-era military postal cover, sent in 1939 from Pretoria, South Africa to a member of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in England. A rare piece of early-war postal history, especially with postage due markings.

Features:

  • Postmarked Pretoria, 29 Sept 1939, just weeks after the outbreak of World War II.

  • Addressed to Mr. Jack Lalkon, Officers Mess, Royal Air Force, South Cerney, England.

  • Endorsed with Postage Due markings, showing a 3d (threepence) postage due stamp affixed on arrival in England.

  • Clear transit and receiving postmarks.

  • Condition: Worn, with some tears and age marks, but historically important and intact.

Historical Significance:

  • Sent during the very start of WWII, when RAF bases in England were rapidly expanding for air defense.

  • Postage due covers are scarcer than standard military correspondence, making this a desirable piece for collectors of RAF, WWII, and South AfricaUK postal history.
