Sweden. Military cover Facit Mu2 , The Swedish Åland Demolition Detachement 1919. A nice military letter Mu 2 machine-cancelled "STOCKHOLM 1" 23.8.19 on nice mounted page to a Swedish 2nd Lieutenant at the Swedish Detachement at Åland. This letter (unused) have most probably been folded due to be sent from the addresse in a letter to the sender to be used back to him for free instead of exchange by coupon, because the enclosed letter content is not folded at the same way. Very rare to find with content that can prove this handling. Good quality but slightly worn. Exhibition item! Show less

Sweden. P.O.W mail3 items total in this lot. First a beautiful postcard from a wounded PoW from Trelleborg, Sweden to Wien, Austria with Austrian censor cancel "ZENSURIERT". Notation "Kriegsgefangen-korrespondenz" for free postage. The notation "M" is probably relatd to the Swdish censorship. The postcard is written on the Swedish train with German and Austrian wounded soldiers when in Helsingborg. The sender was not regarded as fully "inavlid" and therefore had to be interned in Denmark, which he later was in Aarhus. Transports of these "half-invalid" soldiers were only May-June 1917. Only 1 known to us. Then one postcard from an interned "half-invalid" soldier in Eidsvoll, Norway to Swedish Red Cross sisters in Haparanda, Sweden. Probably the ones who had taken care of him in Sweden. Postmark 1.V.17 and cancel "Krigsfangepost", "T" notation and postage due label in Sweden, paid with 10 öre stamp cancelled HAPARANDA 5.5.1917. The last item is a postcard from Trelleborg 30.5.1916 depicting military barrack and soldiers including the sender which he wrote in the message. Very interesting message during the time when Sweden was very close to enter the WWI with the forces on a higher readiness level which is uderstood in the message. Very scarce to document. All three items nicely mounted on pages with a lot of facts. Good quality! Ex Hohndorf. Show less
