Having just become the custodian of what is an important and moving collection of covers I wish to share them with you.
All addressed to Lt A Bulman 1/4th Battn K.O.S.B., Killed in Action 12th July 1915 at Cape Helles, Gallipoli.
Covers show the desperation and hope that he was alive and a POW held by the family.
I attach page one so far.

Page two, this one raises a number of questions.
How did it get from Cape Helles to Galata (Constantinople)
The circular PC cachet is I believe a London mark, no indication when applied.
The bi-lingual cachet applied back in London?
Chris
Pages 3 and 4 attached.
Self explanatory, No idea how page 4 got to Constantinople.
These complete the covers sent by his Mother.
