1912 commercial usage of H&B PPC ('Aola...' - river scene) to France with Small Canoes 1d tied by a largely fine strike of the rare 'BRITISH SOLOMON ISLANDS/MA4/1912/AOLA' cds (Proud #D1; LRD), Sydney machine transit & French arrival cds of 18-5/12. PO late-1908; closed mid-1912. The finest strike & the last of the four similar cards from this correspondence. [The message, signed "Ralph W Gossett", states "Aola River on Guadalcanal. There are one or two fine rivers in the Group. I have just been surveying two on Malayta [sic] Is"]
