Salvation Army World Centenary, commemorated on Jamaican stamp. A quite common cover and almost all of these were cancelled with a Kingston postmark. This cover is cancelled with a local PM – Half Way Tree, which is a neighbourhood in the city of Kingston. The cover also has the registered label from that post office.
