re: British Service privilege envelopes

l first came across privilege envelopes when I was developing an exhibit about the wartime/postwar economy of Great Britain. Here are the four sheets that I included in my vermeil-medal exhibit:

Privilege envelopes were supposed to be used by officers only to reduce the need for censorship at the unit level. That of course was based on the questionable premise that officers were gentlemen who would never compromise security.

re: British Service privilege envelopes

My local club met last night; one of our members inserted two post-war military covers in a box of Hungarian material he had bought on my behalf. This fits exactly with the material that Bob and Phil have discussed. This, however, is from what I assume is a South African service member sent to the US Zone in Germany. both were posted to the same addressee (the original beneficiary of the Hungarian material noted before). both covers are WAR ECONOMY covers, with the two different overwrites. One is free-franked and the other is franked with a 3d KGVI sheet stamp.

Interested in any add'l information on South African units stationed in England in '48.
