Auction 309-320 - Great Britain 1840–1841 Europe & Overseas - Day 5

British Forces in Bulgaria prior to the Crimean Campaign 1854 (July 23): Letter from Devna Camp to Varna endorsed at base "To Ansell (actually W. Angell) Esq. Postmaster Gen'l, Varna", with complete letter concerning payment for letters to the Light Division after deductions for returned letters to a Capt. Shadwell; and "I have made enquiries concerning the packet of letters amounting to £1.10s.0d. said to be addressed to Colonel Sullivan. They have never arrived...". The Army Post Office came under heavy criticism during their time in Bulgaria. Scarce and a fine letter that displays well.
