Seeking any gossip on this Cinderella please. (no matter how trivial)

Would the "thing" in the cape be an allegory of pestilence?

Thanks.

Issued by the Indian PO on 2 October 1951 in three values: 1 Anna, 4
Annas and 1 Rupee. No information on the symbolism, unfortunately

G'day Tony,

(From ever helpful off-list army

I am cataloguing Charkari at the moment, and from my notes
from you previously, can you confirm none are found on cover?
Mine seem to be all CTO, but I have one with a official type of cancellation.
Comments?

Pie floater. eh!
Oh Tony, it appears that Rodney has come to his senses
and is now moving to South Australia. LOL

That is not funny Blair.
I escaped from there, I merely borrowed a part of their cuisine.

So do you prefer tomato sauce or mint sauce on your pie floater?
Or do you prefer it "au naturel"?

Pies were the subject of radio Auntie yesterday (ABC Radio)
and it brought back memories Blair.
As a naval recruit, Sydney's "Harry de Wheels" was a common stop off point
before going back on board after a night out.

The wiki image is disgusting, a real pie floater has the pie placed on a warm
bowl, upside down, and two ladles of minty, super green mushy peas, slooped over the top.
Condiments of cracked pepper and salt to taste. Eat with a spoon, dribbling down the front of
the shirt is excused, rather, expected.

It really is a marvelous tasty "pick me up".
The next day however, one has no friends at all, as the peas work their magic.

On average, Australians consume 12 pies each a year, so it is apparent
I am eating someone else's share.


Here are kids at the footy, eating pies,
(they look like Melbourne's "four and twenty" pies)

Rodney, please feel free to take my ration - nasi goreng for breakfast/
lunch for me. I am a good post-modern Australian.
