I'm confused by this envelope!

Pre-stamped and 'By Air Mail', and pre-addressed to Base Air Post Depot, Karachi, so how would it have been distributed for use by Air Mail within India but outwith Karachi?

Hi Peter. Here's a similar(ish) newspaper branch postmark listed by Whitney (1993).

Fires?

Signature appears to be Appelbe.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your input. I've used a pocket microscope on these to no avail. The rest of the correspondence is (presumably) also in the philatelic arena which is why I was (am) hoping that someone somewhere might have a clearer strike.

Second pic.

A couple of enigmatic RAFPOST Airletters. At first glance they appear to be postmarked RAFPOST 143 but closer examination suggests a possible 147.

However the  situation is further complicated by the sender's address of RAF Jharsuguda which is in India. E B Proud in his Postal History of Naval & RAF Postal Services lists RAF Indainggyi in Burma as being RAF PO 143 and 147 as not known.

Does anyone have other items from this correspondence with a clear date and number?

This postcard was posted in Nailsworth on 25 December 1903 addressed to Fife. The back is undivided. Can anyone explain the event depicted? I'm not sure if its naval or civilian.
Jim

Great detective work, Mike.
Many thanks.
Jim

Thanks Mike.

I'm assuming that the RN stands for Royal Navy but unsure of the CO.
Any thoughts?
Jim

Mystery solved!
Many thanks for this.

This card appears to have been sent by a German PoW in Russia to a bank in Sweden about a money transfer between a German bank and a Russian bank.

Google has translated the German message to something like this: I confirm that I have received this from Deutsche Bank by letter of credit from the Russian Bank for Foreign Trade.

I've heard of British officers cashing cheques in Germany drawn on Cox & Co but this card suggests a more commercial transaction.

Any suggestions?
