dc.description.abstractThis Official envelope dispatched from the Palace - Malta to Birmingham in Jan 1943, bears the Official Embossed Red Colonial coat of arms on the back, and the new Official Malta Governor's Office hand stamp in violet on the front as Governor and Commander in Chief. It travelled by Air to the Air Ministry in London, passing through H. M. Service Postal system, and endorsed by the machine obliterator OFFICIAL PAID. This was the period when in Malta the postal system was totally disrupted, so official letters from the Governor, and the Services went via the Air Ministry, on special dispatches.en_GB
