A movement order covering two soldiers returning home from Italy in 1920, it covers the journey from Modane in France, (at the end of the Modane Tunnel) to Calais.  I suspect there was a earlier movement order to cover the Italian part of the journey.
The Overland Route Taranto to Cherbourg had ceased operating at the end of November 1919
