Something a little different with questions.
Scans show a OHMS Cover to Sir C de Graz, Corfu, Firstly cancelled APO SX 4 29 June 1918 which was located at Kalamiria serving the hospitals located there.
Then Base APO X 30 June 18, located at Salonika town. Sent by rail to APO SX 10 where received 2 July 18, This was located at Itea, the port of entry / exit for the Overland route. Next cancelled APO SX 14 12 July 1918, this APO was located at Corfu.
10 days transit between Itea and Corfu. What helps us a lot with this cover is all these back stamps. OHMS mail appears in the main to be treated very similar to Registered mail, Unknown if recorded on a docket but certainly back-stamped on its travels. The distance between Itea and Corfu is 254 Kilometres, any guess on the route. Via Taranto I feel.
The cover also shows a Army Telegraph Cancel for I think 8 June 18 , Also endorsed DRLS (Dispatch Rider Letter Service) Also shows in manuscript C/o ??????? Dept, Salonika. This manuscript has been over scribbled in red. I think this is in a different hand to the final address. Probably a reuse of this envelope.
Comments welcomed.
