Single franking of the 1D value on a letter sent in December of 1968 by a member of the military (KBC 3250) to a civilian in Tan Dinh. The postage was insufficient, even for the 50% discounted military rate, and hence the letter received a black “T” hand stamp on front indicating that additional postage was due upon delivery. There is no indication ion the additional postage was ever collected.
Multiple franking of the 1D value paying an overall postage of 2D on a domestic military letter (full contents preserved) sent by a civilian in Tran Binh Trong to KBC 4100 in May of 1967, the Thu Duc Infantry School.
