General Discussion

I have received the following enquiry:

I recently bought a Forces Mail Airmail Letter from Oxfam. On the outside is 'This Letter Is For The Use of HM Forces Only.' In response to questions printed on the envelope the sender has written that his number is 14524928. His rank is ? Signal and his name is Weston KJ. Beside the place for the addressee there is a drawing of an elephant and mahout with Greetings from India written above it. On what would be the inside is a picture of four Forces men and the words Christmas Greeting from India 1945. Beneath it are pictures of an elephant, a buffalo cart and a tank. I've tried to find out about the sender of the letter without any success and am therefore wondering whether it's a true airmail letter. So I wonder if I could ask whether you can help by letting me know if you recognise this description - and anything else you may know about this type of airmail envelope. Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Do we have anyone who can help please? Is this an official pinted Christmas greetings Airmail Letter sheet? Is this recorded in any publication? Are you able to provide a scan of a similar air mail letter sheet? Any help appreciated please.

Many thanks, Mike
