TELEGRAM 1918 (11th May), headed ‘THE AFRICAN TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED.’ The message, concerning military matters, was handed in at Limbe and a ZOMBA / A.T. TEL (11 May) single circle datestamp was applied by the delivering office and a straight-line ‘ZOMBA’ handstruck in bluish green below, above a printed ‘BLANTYRE.’ Interestingly, the form states the Telegraph Company observes ‘Rhodesian Mean Time’. Most unusual and a scarce survivor.
