1916-18 Austrian Military Mail in Palestine, balance of an award winning collection, with 109+ covers and cards, all on the original exhibition pages extensively written-up, some with additional notes on the back, covering all of the fascinating aspects of the Austrian military postal system during the Turkey campaigns during World War I, including various Feldpost markings, military regiment cachets, auxiliary markings (official, censored, etc.), there is also much historical information on the exhibit pages, regarding where the particular units were at the time of mailing, what battles they were involved in, how the mail was sent (diplomatic pouch, courier, via Turkey, etc.), generally fine-very fine; one of the most comprehensive collections ever formed from this historically important time period of Holyland philately; would make an ideal basis on which to build an international caliber exhibit (Image)
