WW1 Envelope with Map Fragment
A rare and evocative piece of First World War ephemera: an original stamped O.H.M.S. (On His Majesty's Service) envelope addressed to Major E.P. Graves, Filescamp Field, France. The envelope retains its original postal markings and presents in collectible condition.
Enclosed within is a partial military map — a fragment that carries additional historical significance: a matching version of this map appears in the British 8th Army's "The Road Home" publication, issued under the command of General Sir Richard McCreery during the Second World War. The presence of this map bridges two world conflicts, making this a uniquely layered piece of militaria.
