Sibu, water view

Sibu, water view

We always try to be careful when we describe an entry, and this one requires more effort.  It’s an older, real-photo card.  The reverse was originally blank but the sender identifies the location as “the Chinese land above Sibu” (Sarawak).  The sender’s return address in Brunei is rubber-stamped, and the stamp is British with a postmark indicating “Field Post Office” (for the Forces).  Can’t say exactly when, but we think late 1960s or early 1970s.  Grade: 1
