Title: 3rd For Today 19th June FPO W 2
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on June 19, 2020, 03:23:59 PM
Friends

Sometimes a little "gem" comes our way.  I show once such item here.  Fragment of a Parcel Post Label cancelled FPO W 2, 3rd February 1919

As mentioned before these Parcel Post items are very, very scarce.

Enjoy

Don't see them every day !! I have a few labels like this from the Western Front, but this is a great item.

Hi Peter

Yes, A great item  brings my total to 5 such items from Gallipoli to the Army of the Black Sea period.  Would take  a long time to make  a nine sheet display.

Western Front is easier but outside my field.  The "Man" for Parcel Post items is Nick Wraith,

Hi,
Indeed an interesting item. Is Üsküb modern-day Skopje?
