Word War II was only four days old when this letter was sent and so it was censored by the French military as indicated by the circular censure cachet. Saigon transit cancels on the reverse.

Multiple franking of the 15C value (2) paying an overall postage of 30C on an international air mail letter sent from Hanoi to a military commander in Secteur Postal ISI. The 30th battalion formation was unknown at this location and so the letter received a rectangular black cachet ” Formation Inconnu” before it was returned to the sender. The letter was processed through BPM 121 as indicated by the black bar cachet on front. Saigon transit cancel from January of 1940.
Mixed franking of the !p and 2P Domestic Scence I stamps together with stamps from the Air Mail and World Exhibition sets paying an overall postage of 7.23P on an international air mail letter sent from Saigon to China in April of 1949. Canton arrival cancels on front.
