Here is a good old cover, with everything we need to follow its journey.



1. It was posted in London by Rene Dhondt & Co, on May 25, 1916, and in direction to France. King George V appears on the 2 pence and a half stamps.

Here is the surprise, a mistake on the cancellation date :
A "86" replaced the "16é.

2. On the back, second cancellation without end at the 89 office of London the same day.

3. On the 28th of May, the arrival in Paris is celebrated with the « PARIS R.P. / ETRANGER » mark ("Etranger" = "Foreign")

4. We follow the letter in Paris to the 11th arrondissement of paris (« PARIS XI DISTRIBUTION ») where you can find the Crussol street where destinator mister Van den Bogaert lived.
