Details:
Arthur Reginald Evans autographed postal cover bearing a hand-written Solomon Islands–themed inscription, accompanied by a vintage printed book-page photograph illustrating Evans with fellow Allied personnel during World War II operations in the Pacific. The cover features a bold blue-ink signature and inscription noting location of the Solomon Islands, directly tying the piece to the Coastwatcher network’s intelligence and rescue efforts.
Fine condition.
Evans served as a Coastwatcher lieutenant in the Solomon Islands and was part of the Allied intelligence and rescue infrastructure that supported U.S. naval operations in the region. Coastwatchers played a critical role in monitoring Japanese movements, relaying intelligence, and assisting in the rescue of downed airmen and stranded naval personnel. This network was instrumental in the aftermath of the August 1943 sinking of PT-109, when Coastwatchers helped locate and assist the surviving crew, including John F. Kennedy, ultimately facilitating their rescue.
