1914 (21 December) cover from Hanoi to Boermond/Holland bearing 'FM" overprinted 10c Cameo Sower. A postage due was applied upon arrival as the military mail franking was not accepted. Soldiers' letters addressed outside the French community were probably returned. This is the only reported example of a FM cover from Indochina having been charged postage due. Rare.
