Post by: Chris Weddell on April 24, 2020, 12:50:22 PM
Here is my cover of the day.

This cover was posted from aboard the French Navy Aviso (medium sized battleship used in the Colonies) "D'IPERVILLE" which was in Port Said, Egypt.

The cover was posted on the 2nd of November 1939 before their surrender to Germany in 1940. She then served with Vichy French Navy. On the 27th of November 1942 she was scuttled with other ships of the French fleet at Toulon.
