A notable postal card sent from Široki Brijeg to Belgrade in June 1945 raises some questions. The card was broken in half at some point, but the exact circumstances of its severance and the identity of the repairer remain a mystery. While the exact moment of damage cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the presence of official "VOJNA CENZURA BEOGRAD" (Military Censorship Belgrade) tapes suggests that it is most likely that the card was severed during the censorship process. Whether it was damaged during the hurried opening of mail bags or rough handling during inspection, the fact that it was resealed with official adhesive tape points to an official intervention before it reached the addressee.
1945 Mostar Provisional Issue, Postal Card, sent from Široki Brijeg to Belgrade on June 14, 1945. Censored by Military Censor in Belgrade with a framed three-line cachet "ЦЕНЗУРИСАНО БЕОГРАД Војни цензор, бр. 10". Post offices tolerated late use of the Split Tariff for postal cards until their withdrawal from circulation. The postal card was broken in half and subsequently resealed with official censor tapes.
