Centaur. 1943 Stampless covers with violet "H.M.A / HOSPITAL SHIP" and boxed A.I.F censor cachets, one with "Passed Free Surface Postage" machine of Fremantle, the other with enclosed letter headed from the ship. The "Centaur" was sunk by a Japanese submarine just four days into her second voyage with the loss of 268 personnel, including Pte N. McLean, the writer of this letter. A few opening faults but rare, believed to be the only covers recorded from this hospital ship. (2). Photo on Page 40.
