German POW in Turkey 1918

[Chris Grimshaw]

Something a little different which may generate some interest

Scans show a cover sent Free to Bureau International de la Piax, Berne, Switzerland from a German POW, No 20753 in No 2 POW Hospital, Heliopolis, Egypt

Framed FREE and unframed FROM PRISONER OF WAR Cachets

Censor 3 / 3282 applied in Egypt. Cover went via CONSTANTINOPLE and was received in Berne 30 April 1918

Route via Constantinople seems a little strange, however first I've seen of a German POW in Egypt writing to Berne.
