Title: 1915 Incoming Cover to Nish
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on March 06, 2021, 03:11:19 PM
Friends

Something which arrived earlier when I was still in a rocky place,

Incoming cover to someone (cannot make name out ) help,  C/o British Typhus Hospital etc Belgrade further care of Sir R Paget, Nish

London cancel Sept 29 15,  I think the circular cancel on the front is Belgrade (help)

NICH receiving cancel date unsure,  Second cancel which may be the same. Oval Cachet 2nd British Farmers Hospital etc.

Questions I know, any help appreciated on this interesting item.  :)  :)

After all,Why collect the mundane when one can find material such as this, even when working it out becomes frustrating.

Thank you both,  a great help.  I've spent some time on Google and managed to put together the attached list of staff of No's 1 & 3 Units of the Hospitals staff at this time

There is a Miss Moore (No First Name) listed on page 2 as a Nursing Sister.

Would be very interested if anyone has other material from this fascinating period.
