1941 censored cover to Kinangop with two red straight line ‘On Active Service’ h/s and a red ‘Passed By Military Censor No. 41 cachet. There is also a poor strike of the rare violet E.A.A.P.S.’7’ / 27 JAN 1941 cancel. This was at LOKITAUNG and only opened from 20th January to 6th February 1941. Sent by Hugo Raven Yorke-Davies of the Kenya Regiment to his family farm, this regiment was part of the 25th E. A. Brigade, also comprising the Kings African Rifles and South African troops under general Brink that were waiting to advance into Italian East Africa (Ethiopian sector). Despite the E.A.A.P.S. strike not being particularly good, this is still a very scarce cover.
