Excellent origin/destination item. The route appears fairly straightforward. However, the faint oval marking on the face reads 'BASE POST OFFICE/EEF PORT SAID', suggesting the cover was first missent from Cairo. (Image1) (Image2)

2901 c image1916 Darfur Campaign stampless OAS cover endorsed "HG Thornton/Lieut" at lower-left, to his parents in Northamptonshire with superb 'RAHAD/19APR916/...' cds (the example illustrated by Ted Proud) & triangular Sudan Censor '6' cachet in violet. the reverse with TPO transit cds of 'KHARTOUM-EL-OBEID' (23.4.1916) & 'SHELLAL-HALFA/No 2' (26.4), minor faults. A rare early Royal Air Force cover. After the Re-Occupation 1896-98, the Darfur (= Land of the Fur) area was left undisturbed. In 1915, the local sultan declared allegiance to the Ottoman Empire. Kitchener's successor as Sirdar, General Reginald Wingate, despatched a force of 2000 men & three (or four?) aircraft to gain control of Darfur. It took them eight months to quell the Fur. HG Thornton of C Flight 17th Squadron, was one of the RAF pilots. (Image1) (Image2)

Another excellent destination but the backstamps were all used at Cairo so it seems there was no mail service to Salonika. The addressee was Lt-Col William St Andrew Warde-Aldam of the Coldstream Guards.

(hotel) arrival backstamp, opened a little roughly with repaired fault at upper-centre. A rare cover from this little-known WWI incident. In 1917, disturbances near the southern border saw a force of Sudanese & Kenyan troops despatched to bring the "unruly" Ngturkana people under control, a task that was accomplished only in 1929. Even today, the area is disputed between South Sudan & Kenya. (Image1) (Image2)

Carried from Alexandria per SS 'Kingstonian' which, on 11.4.1918, was torpedoed off Sardinia by German submarine UB68. The mail suffered extensive water-damage & was taken to London where the recovery process took several weeks. Most 'Kingstonian' covers are addressed to the UK. This is very unusual for being from the Sudan & going to America. With the original letter headed "Dongola Civil Hospital/10th March 1918" & signed "N Jumblatt", an Arab physician, writing to a former missionary, to whom he extends thanks for assistance given to his children with their schooling in the USA.  (2 items) (Image1) (Image2) (Image3) (Image4)
