Stamps and censored envelopes from the Far Eastern war zones are the subject of the Harvard University Stamp Club's annual exhibit in the Widener Library.
The course of censorship, as it followed the outbreak of hostilities, is traced through displays of entire envelopes or "covers" representing by their stamps, their censorship markings, their patriotic stickers, and their cancellations.
Among these are several censored in Singapore, a few from British and American army posts and ships located in the war zone, and covers from prisoners of war. Single stamps, explaining graphically the locality and status of the various countries and colonies in the Pacific war area, are also shown.
