    1918: Cover from Bavaria franked by 10 pf. carmine (2), censored on despatch (unframed '2' and framed '6') addressed to "William Hunter, Postfach Rhone 4116, Genf.", presumably Thomas Cook's agent in Geneva, Switzerland as the reverse is struck with 'Rue du Rhone' and Geneva cds's (March 22). The cover with Reseal "OPENED BY / CENSOR /4876" and struck on reverse with framed "THOS. COOK & SON / 4 APR. 1918 / LONDON" cachet in violet - the letter inside would then have been forwarded to the British recipient. A most unusual usage with accompanying article by Keith Tranmer (Stamp Collecting, May 25, 1972) discussing this cover at length.
