Post-WW2 Germany

[Michael Dobbs]

And now for something completely different to WW1 - a couple of covers from the early post-war years in Germany in  1951!  ;D

Both are postmarked FIELD POST OFFICE 791 located at Herford (BAOR 15).
The first cover is postmarked on 28 JA 51 and addressed to London.  It was from [b]802 Field Office[/b] of the [b]International Refugee Organisation[/b] (IRO) located at Bad Salzuflen (BAOR 15).  I also show the cachet on the reverse.

The second cover is postmarked A / 5 MR 51 and is also addressed to London, to a Polish person.  It has the cachet of the [b]Relief Society for Poles[/b] which was located at Oerlinghausen (BAOR 15).

Enjoy!

Hi Mike,

Very nice in this early 1950's period with, what I would call links back to WW2 and the displacement of people at that time.

I think I have seen the FPO's from this period before, but certainly not these cachets.

Hi Mike

Very nice material,  I've certainly never seen there like before.
