Reverse with Cherbourg à Paris railway cds and Prussian Ausgabe cds (15 / 1). The cover shows handwritten endorsement "voie de Belgique" and "Port étranger" note pointing to the fact that only the Prussian part of the journey was franked with a stamp while the PD handstamp shows that the postage-free mailing within France to a French POW abroad was accepted by the postal authorities.
