Could anyone give a clue?
Here is a Trinidad & Tobago stamp with cancellation (part of it) that seems to be from the British Empire Exhibition of 1924 / 1925. Was it at all possible to mail from UK a colonial stamp? Or is there something else in it? Thanks for all the answers that might come.

British Empire exhibition,

I have a feeling this slogan was used across the empire.

Thanks everyone for the replies. The Indian cover is certainly a sound proof, but then: were those imperail cancellations the same all over the British Empire, or they differ according to certain, let's say rules?
