\"\"<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES: WORLD WAR 1 CENSORSHIP of CIVILIAN MAIL:
\n<\/strong>Western Australia and the British Indian Ocean Islands.<\/span>
\nThis exhibit is arranged to show the censor markings used to identify mail that has been properly intercepted by the Post Office or sent by the writer to the Censor\u2019s office as instructed. It does not include mail withheld by the censor for destruction, or forwarding at a later date (often at the end of the war), or retention in official archives. Civilian mail includes mail to and from members of the general public and civilian alien internees.<\/span>
\nMarkings used in Western Australia, Ceylon, Mauritius, and Zanzibar are shown in that order. Censor labels and censor cachets are shown chronologically. Some censor markings for WA and Ceylon are common, others for WA, Ceylon and all of Mauritius and Zanzibar are rare.<\/span>

<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES WESTERN AUSTRALIA: MILITARY POSTAL MARKINGS WORLD WAR 2<\/strong><\/span>
\nWorld War 2 is the only period in which there has been a substantial military presence in WA requiring an extensive military postal system to augment the service provided by the Postmaster General\u2019s Department. \u2018Military\u2019 excludes Naval and Air Force mail.\u00a0 <\/span>This exhibit is organised to show the use of military postal markings as they became required to support the <\/span>Middle East campaign, to meet the deployment of 3 Australian Corps and other military forces to counter possible Japanese invasion of WA, and the redeployment of those forces when invasion was no longer considered a threat. This organisation differs from that in Haynes and Pope (1997) where postal markings are catalogued according to type. The postal markings are mainly military post marks, censor marks, and registration marks but others, such as POW mail and addressee\u2019s cachets, are also shown. Military use of the PMG\u2019s postal service is also included.<\/span>

\"\"<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES\u00a0 COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS 1907- 2022<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Cocos Islands were discovered in 1609, settled in 1826 as a coconut plantation, annexed by Britain in 1857, and the site of a submarine cable relay station from 1901. The world paid brief attention to Cocos on 9 November 1914 when HMAS Sydney sank SMS Emden. A short-lived post office opened in 1933 but there was not much demand for postal services until 1945 when British forces constructed an airstrip. Cocos (Keeling) Islands 6799 is now the most remote Western Australian post office. Other than philatelic demand, there have been limited postal requirements of the 600 residents on Cocos. <\/span>Cocos postal history is shown in roughly chronological order<\/span>
\nSECTION A: 1907- 1945 Local postal service, Straits Agency, British forces<\/span>
\nSECTION B: 1946- 1955 Singapore Postal Agency, RAAF post office<\/span>
\nSECTION C: 1955- 1979 Australian PMG Department<\/span>
\nSECTION D: 1979- 1993 Cocos Philatelic Bureau<\/span>
\nSECTION E: 1994- 2022 Australia Post<\/span>
\nSome heavily subscribed philatelic product at various times is readily available but mail to and from Cocos in all periods is scarce.

Bruce Haynes has tabulated the seasonal movement of mail to and from Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands through Western Australian ports and via Singapore and Indonesia. The information is available here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES\u00a0 <\/span>CHRISTMAS ISLAND 6798: 1906- 2021
\n[INDIAN OCEAN]<\/span>
\n<\/strong>The island was incorporated into Straits Settlements in 1900 and the laws of Singapore applied. A post office was opened in 1900 but a building to house it was not available till 1904. Singapore achieved self-government in 1958 and Christmas Island was made a Crown Colony before being transferred to Australia as an external territory. Because of its isolation, limited commercial activity, and small literate population, Christmas Island has never generated much non-philatelic mail.<\/span>
\nChristmas Island 6798 is an Australia Post (W.A.) office serving a population of 1700.<\/span>
\nThe display is arranged chronologically to illustrate the slow postal development from an isolated mining settlement to a small mining\/tourist town.<\/span>
\nSECTION A: 1906- 1942 British Phosphate Commission post office, Straits post office<\/span>

\"\"<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES: WESTERN AUSTRALIA: AIRMAIL 1911-1939<\/strong>
\nOne of the earliest multi-stage long haul scheduled airmail routes in the world commenced in 1921 as an intrastate route from Geraldton to Derby. Some interstate and international airmail, including transit airmail, became available to Western Australians in 1929 when the Perth to Adelaide and London to Karachi routes were opened. Extensions of the routes beyond Derby, Adelaide and Karachi in the 1930s made airmail more readily available but the new route from Perth to Wiluna had little use as most destinations had adequate rail service.

\"\"<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES: WESTERN AUSTRALIA: NAVAL MAIL 1942 – 1994\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 WA Naval Mail is any mail to, from, or related to naval personnel in or connected to WA. Such mail is scarce prior to 1939 as it is mainly related to visiting ships and no specific postal markings were used.
\nThis collection contains the majority of recorded WA naval mail and is the reference collection for Haynes and Pope (1997).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>BRUCE HAYNES: WESTERN AUSTRALIA: HOLES IN STAMPS<\/strong> Western Australia has a long and varied history of official and officially sanctioned punctures in postage stamps. Official punctures have the same purpose and status of overprinted official stamps but lack the same philatelic collecting interest. They are also more prone to forgery. This display includes punctures for use by Commonwealth and State Departments and private businesses.

\"\"<\/a>JOHN F DIBIASE MONTE BELLO ISLANDS – LOCAL POST STAMPS\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Collectors first became aware of a set of 3 denominations, 1d., 3d., and 6d. of the Monte Bello Islands local post stamps were issued when an unknown London stamp dealer offered these for sale at the time of the first British atomic tests off the coast of Western Australia in 1951-52.
\nThe exhibit focuses on proofs, sheets and varieties and a selection of reprints and phantom stamps produced in the 1990\u2019s.
