AT TOP: A Souvenir Japanese Envelope, bearing a stamp picturing damage inflicted at Pearl Harbour and a cachet showing U.S. battleships under attack. Second stamp depicts Jap tanks, on manoeuvres in the tropics. They were issued on the first anniversary of Peari Harbour, December 8, 1942 (Tokio time). Taken by a Jap photographer in one of the attacking planes, the picture from which the stamp was designed shows columns of smoke rising from HicKam Field, with battleship row in foreground. The Jap characters to the right of the cachet indicate the occasion as the first anniversary of the war of Greater East Asia, which because of the international dateline, the Japanese observe on December 8 — note Tokio postmark.
