This letter was posted from the German hospital ship in Yokohama; however, the Chinese stamps were not accepted and postage due handstamps applied, the reverse Hakodate arrival c.d.s. (26.8); there are a couple of small faults which do not detract from this highly unusual and interesting cover. Photo
