1945 Transadriatic mail

Transadriatic mail to foreign destinations is very rare...

 
1945 Transadriatic mail, letter from Grohote, island of Šolta, (14.II.45) to Balcatta, West Australia, in transit through Cairo (2. APR 45). Three times censored: first locally, most probably in Split, then by the Allied Transadriatic Censorship in Bari and in Cairo (M/52). No postage applied since the letter was sent within a free postage period. This is the only recorded letter for Australia.
