The listing, World War II V-Mail Form has ended.
During WWII, people were encouraged to write their letters to military overseas on V-mail forms. The letter would be photographed and the film containing hundreds of letters would be shipped overseas where letters would be printed and distributed to the troops thus saving valuable cargo space for war materials. The form is genuine from WWII and bears place for censor to put stamp indicating nothing classified or could help the enemy was included in the letter. The last photo shows a V-Mail poster from World War II but it is NOT included in the auction and for information purposes only. The auction is for the V-mail form illustrated in the first two pictures only! Many a soldier learned of births, passing of family members, news from home, and even an occasional "Dear John" letter. This is a great piece of history for the stamp collector, World War II collector or postal history collector. Please enlarge to see front and back of the form that the winner will receive.
