| Title: | 28 May 1941: Kuwait Post Office Last Day under Iraq Postal Administration |
| Comments: | We have yet to find actual documentation that confirms the date when Kuwait Post Office was transferred from Iraqi Administration back to Indian Administration but based on covers recorded during the last week of May 1941 it would appear that the Iraqi surface rate of 3as was used on mail dated 24, 25 and 28 May while the Indian surface rate of 1.25as was used on mail dated 29 May and onwards. We also have a telegram dated 25 May 1941 that mentions Iraqi postal workers at Kuwait Post Office refusing to operate.<br /> <br /> As such, the transfer date used by this website is:<br /> <br /> 28.5.1941: Last day of Iraq Postal Administration<br /> 29.5.1941: First day of Indian Postal Administration<br /> <br /> http://56.octaldevs.com/philatelic/stuff-manager/view-details/5717/Philatelic%20Items |
