1945, July 4. Envelope from Leros to Florence, franked by 5d. tied by Italian ´´Ufficio Postale Telegrafico/Lero´´ cds. One additional stamp was erroneously applied and consequently lifted before being dispatched. Rare Egyptian censorship, a feature which only occurred in the early period of the British occupation, when mail was forwarded via Egypt. Despite some imperfections, a very rare cover which represents one of the earliest usages from this Island (this office was opened on 14.6.1945). Sa. 10.
