heading "Commission Internationale/De/Delimitation des Frontières de l'Albanie", with matching three-line handstamp and red wax seal on reverse, but reading in Italian "Commissione Internazionale/Delimitazione Confini d'Albania/Delegazione Italiana";
the cover was franked on origin by the sender with "Floreale" 1L pair, but tied in transit at Brindisi when entering Italy on 16.10. A unique and fascinating usage.

occupy for almost one month the Island of Corfu (see the corresponding section "Corfu 1923" in this auction sale); this occupation will only end when the guiltiness will be acknowledged by Greece and the related compensation will be paid to Italy as
requested.(Image 1)
