 21(4): ½¢ black
STRIP OF FOUR tied by Hamilton 3 SP 1868 duplexes to a choice TWO CENT SOLDIER'S LETTER RATE cover addressed to a private in the 3rd Battl'n, 60 Rifles at Madras, INDIA, with red London 16 SP transit on front and 20 OC receiver on back,
re-directed to Bangalore and received next day. In November, the soldier was declared DEAD in the largest and most cold and indifferent manuscript notation we have ever encountered, the cover then being backstamped at Bangalore and its Dead
Letter Office on November 11, and returned to sender. The addressee was the third brother in the Hilder family, who saw service in several conflicts during his military career in the mid-1860s, and was, in fact, still alive at the time the cover was
returned, so the family found the cover amusing and retained it. There are some minor stamp faults as the strip was applied partially over the edge, but this is certainly one of the finest and most compelling of the many SOLDIER'S LETTERS we have
seen, and is a MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY ITEM for either the Military or Large Queen collector, with 2002 Greene Foundation certificate. Ex - Brigham. (Image)
