Proud states that Darmali PO was opened -3.1898 & closed -.11.1898. However, his LRD for the office cds is 9 VIII 98, and this cover from a month later bears no strike of the datestamp, so it may have closed sooner. The Cambridge Military Hospital opened in Hampshire 18.7.1879 & closed in 1996. The marvellous original building has now been converted into apartments. (Image1) (Image2)

The Mahdi was defeated in -.9.1898 & a temporary PO opened at Khartoum. It was replaced early-1902 by a new GPO. Of the cds, John Gibson states "only four examples recorded on cover". The addressee was Captain (later Admiral) Colin Richard Keppel. In 1885, he was with the party that discovered Khartoum had fallen. In 1897 he was at the forefront of the successful operations to re-take Khartoum, and defused the tensions of the Fashoda Incident. He was later equerry to four different British kings.
