First a beautiful postcard from a wounded PoW from Trelleborg, Sweden to Wien, Austria with Austrian censor cancel "ZENSURIERT". Notation "Kriegsgefangen-korrespondenz" for free postage. The notation "M" is probably relatd to the Swdish censorship. The postcard is written on the Swedish train with German and Austrian wounded soldiers when in Helsingborg. The sender was not regarded as fully "inavlid" and therefore had to be interned in Denmark, which he later was in Aarhus. Transports of these "half-invalid" soldiers were only May-June 1917. Only 1 known to us. Then one postcard from an interned "half-inavlid" soldier in Eidsvoll, Norway to Swedish Red Cross sisters in Haparanda, Sweden. Probably the ones who had taken care of him in Sweden. Postmark 1.V.17 and cancel "Krigsfangepost", "T" notation and postage due label in Sweden, paid with 10 öre stamp cancelled HAPARANDA 5.5.1917. The last item is a postcard from Trelleborg 30.5.1916 depicting military barrack and soldiers including the sender which he wrote in the message. Very interesting message during the time when Sweden was very close to enter the WWI with the forces on a higher readiness level which is uderstood in the message. Very scarce to document. All three items nicely mounted on pages with a lot of facts. Good quality! Ex Hohndorf. Show less
