Note: This surcharge was produced to remedy a shortage when the inland letter rate wasraised to 4c. on 1st January 1918. Five million stamps were surcharged. The 3c. was used asthere were insufficient quantities of the higher value stamp. In April 1918 nine million 4c.stamps were printed and the receipt of these in Malaya in May or June obviated the need forthe surcharged stamps. The five million unwanted surcharged stamps were packed inweighted boxes and sunk at sea. Somehow, a few survived
