1935 (July 4) London to Shanghai "Return to Sender" and “P.T.O.”
Cover Sent from South Kensington to Lt. Commdr. A. Yates at the
Shanghai Club, redirected to the Admiralty, London. Features a GB
1½d Silver Jubilee stamp and a reverse block of 4x 1c Chinese
postage due stamps tied by Shanghai cancels. The delivery failure
is meticulously documented by three boxed instructional marks: "1ST
NOTICE SENT" (Aug 7), "2ND" (Aug 12), and "3RD" (Aug 21). Includes
a bilingual "Returned to Sender" wavy line handstamp and a London
(Sept 13) arrival mark. A manuscript mark of "P.T.O." (Please Turn
Over) was made on the front – this is alerted by postal clerks to
direct attention to the extensive markings, Chinese stamps, and
redirection instructions on the reverse of the envelope. This cover
illustrates the disciplined three-stage notification attempt used
by the Chinese Post Office before returning the item to the UK. The
combination of British Jubilee commemoratives and Chinese
definitive stamps makes it an exceptional piece of inter-postal and
military history plus manuscript instructional marking.
