1943 IMOTSKI, Unique letter for abroad

In February 1943, the town of Imotski was occupied by the Partisans. After their withdrawal the post office remained without canceller, so they were forced to use a temporary provisional rubber stamp "POŠTA - IMOTSKI" for a couple of months.

 
1943 Imotski, registered letter sent from Imotski (handwritten 31.3.43) to Roma (13.4.43), correctly franked with 13kn (4kn for mail to Italy and 9kn for the registration), porto used as franko, cancelled with a temporary provisional rubber stamp "POŠTA - IMOTSKI". This is the earliest known date and one of two known letters sent abroad.
