Lot No:232 Symbol: Estimate; $500 - 750. Between 1873 and 1877, Jules Harmand took part in several civil and military campaigns in Tonkin and Cochinchina, as well as in scientific exploration missions in the Indochinese peninsula, on the Mekong and in Siam. In late summer 1873, a dispute between French trader Jean Dupuis and the Vietnamese authorities had created a diplomatic crisis in Hanoi. On the demand of the Vietnamese imperial court, Garnier was sent by Admiral Dupré to resolve the dispute and to expel Dupuis and his mercenaries from the Tonkin. Garnier departed from Saigon with half of the expeditionary force on 11 October 1873 and reached Hanoi on 5 November. On 21 December 1873 Liu Yongfu and around 600 Black Flags marched to Hanoi. Garnier, leading three men uphill in a bayonet attack on a party of Black Flags, was stabbed and hacked to death by several Black Flag soldiers. US$500-750 (Image) Est. $500-750

Lot No:233 Symbol: Estimate; $200 - 300. After France lost the 1871 Franco-Prussian War, Alsace was annexed to Germany until 1919. The sender apparently thought Alsace was still part of France and attempted to mail via military franchise system, which would have been fine if sending to France. This did not escape the Saigon postmaster, who obliterated the military postmark and replaced it with the civilian postmark and charged tax. US$200-300 (Image) Est. $200-300
