Can someone identify this stamp in a Bible that allowed my roommate's Grandpa
to keep it in a POW camp in WW2?

Normally Bibles would have been forbidden but apparently this stamp that was
inspected regularly allowed him to keep it throughout the war. He never knew
what it said only that it let him keep it. I'd like to be able to tell him
what it means before he passes on.

It says 「檢閲濟{けんえつずみ}」"ken'etsuzumi", which means "inspected". The kanji are of
the old style.

The presently-used kanji are 「検閲済」.
