Beating the Censor.
Attemps to “beat the censor” are a feature of letters sent home by New Zealanders serving overseas. One New Zealand in the R.A.F., attempting to convey to relatives where he was without actually saying so, wrote that, he was stationed near a town “which, you will remember, we visited on our last leave and looked through their wonderful cathedral." He added that he expected to be moved soon and would "return to the station mentioned in my letter just before war broke out" or else go to one “near where we made the motor-bike tour last summer ”
