    British Forces in Egypt 1939: 3 m. green, a vertical strip of four and 10 m. carmine in a horizontal strip of three used on Airmail cover to England tied by FPO / KW1 datestamps (Nov 12, 1940) in black. Unit Censor handstamp at left in violet. Opening tear to envelope at base but a rare usage, the rate was 40 m. but as the 3 m. could only be purchased in units of ten stamps, they were used to make up, and overpay, the 10 m. Signed Todd AIEP.

    Note: The British Forces Proof and Stamp material in the Peter Smith collection was sold five years ago through Carmichael & Todd.
