Military Mail
1915 (17 May) stampless envelope to Ireland headed "O.A.S." with unknown F.P.O. c.d.s. in blue and "passed by censor/doorgelaten door censor" in similar blue, with enclosure from "Gibeon" who had "got into camp, from a temporary hospital at Krantz Plats" mentioning "the big battle is over". Both the envelope and letter paper share the same elaborate embossed military design reading "sud west afrika" and showing two guns and a hat. Envelope a little roughly opened though an interesting item.
