From Sainte-Adresse to Wulveringhem in 1918



This registered letter was sent from Sainte-Adresse (in France, where the Belgian government in exile during the German occupation had a provisional post office) on 5 March 1918 to a military person in Criel and was forwarded from there to Wulveringhem (in West Flanders, now spelled Wulveringem). Although there is no cancel of arrival, the fact that the letter was forwarded indicates that it did travel by mail.

Characteristics:
  • Single 1c+1c and 5c, 20c definitives of 1915
  • Total franking of 26c (exact amount?)
  • Registered cover
  • Clear cancels, with stars
  • No cancel of arrival
Estimated value: $60
