4531 c   imageSPECIALIZED WWI RUSSIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES IN FRANCE, WITH SCARCE MATERIAL.

An extraordinary collection of postal history recounting the alliances and allied operations through correspondence and commemorative postal stationery, mostly from the point of view of the Russian forces in France during World War 1. There are more than 140 items in all, beginning with an open letter of ,12th ,June 1916 from Marshal Joffre addressing the French ,2nd ,Army at Verdun, announcing the achievements of the Russians as allies and the importance of the courage and sacrifice of the Verdun force in support of these victories. This is handwritten and signed 'J. Joffre' is clearly important and offered on its own merits. Then follows a fabulous array of propaganda, a few of the highlights are a postcard from Paris to Rome sent Christmas Day 1917 with 10c sower on top of perforate label designed to frame the stamp with flags and mottos of Russia (motto in cyrillic), France, Britain and Belgium, a folded letter stationery envelope printed with &lsquo,Honneur aux Allies&rsquo, and flags with &lsquo,Vive la France&rsquo, and &lsquo,Vive la Russie&rsquo, on the front, sent December 1915 from a brigadier in the trenches to his girlfriend in Geneva with details of engagements with the &lsquo,Boches&rsquo,, with censor markings and tape and a Swiss 20c postage due applied alongside the 10cts sower! Then a spectacular series of cards with color illustrations of uniformed soldiers or cavalry of the various allies holding their respective flags, with combinations of 1 rouble Russian military stamps affixed, these with portrait of the Tsar in various colors all tied by 'France-Russie-Belgique-Angleterre, Campagne de 1914' postmarks. A series of different stationery items with the flags of the main allies as four-leaved clovers and many other designs, etc. Also seen moves on to mail bearing the large red postmark of the Russian Military Hospital in Paris and the purple cachet of the Russian Empress&rsquo,s automobile ambulance, followed by extensive stationery of the Russian Expeditionary Corps in France with a comprehensive study of the different types with both unused and used cards for each type, including fascinating examples of obliterations of the Imperial arms carried out after the Bolshevik Revolution. Other good items include a photographic postcard showing the funeral of a Russian officer in France, a fascinating small correspondence from a Russian officer to a lady in Lyon, with contents speaking of the succession of Alexis as Tsar and the events leading up to the Revolution, leading on to Russian POWs, and lots more military mail covering a wide range of areas for example 'Convois Automobile &ndash, Group Russe' on card from Venice, 'Section de Discipline Russe' on card from Algeria, etc, etc. This is a wonderful holding of seldom seen material that deserves more pleasurable research to produce an excellent exhibition standard collection. One of the most extensive and attractive collections we have ever seen of this area, with some items that could be irreplaceable.

Page after page virtually complete including o/ps and no doubt specialised material present.
