This envelope was damaged by fire at an encampment, hence the trace of charring) and "mail inundated neat Vanyen" (cover was immersed in water, which explains why an additional stamp fell off), transit pmks of "Van-Bu Tonkin", "Chobo Tonkin", "Hanoi Tonkin" and "Vanyen Tonkin", finally arriving at Sedan (19 May 95), with wax seals to reclose the envelope. All in all, a remarkable cover, took 80 days to reach its destination, on the way almost being destroyed by fire and water.
