Jai Hind Cancellation-Unique Cover
Aug 10th, 2009 by IndianStampGhar.com
India got its Independence on 15th August 1947.The postage stamp of free India was not issued on that day but to celebrate the Independence , the DOP came out with a Slogan “Jai Hind” as a cancellation on letters which were posted from few post offices ?
This is the cover posted from Wardha,Having the box type cancellation reads as “Chalta Dak Ghar”(Mobile Post Office) with Jai Hind inscribed in Hindi prominently in between the wavy lines.This is a very Unique and Scarce Cancellation.I have a gut feeling that many postal historian would have seldom seen this.
