• John Stewart started the topic Cancellations on Covers start of ww2 in PNG. in the forum PPS Members Forum 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    I have three covers that have been posted in the Milne Bay Buna area at the start of WW2.

    Two covers just have a three (3) bar cancellation with a violet circle and a dot in them.

    One has no stamps available but the violet circle with the dot.

    The circle is about the size of a the end of a pencil with the dot in the centre.

    Can anyone help with the place reason and timings of the use of this style of cancellation.
