    1905: 1 m. brown & carmine, used example on 1905 cover to Khartoum, re-addressed to Cairo, tied by BAHR-EL-GHARZAL datestamp (7.III) in black. Khartoum transit cds below (24.III) and reverse with Cairo arrival cds (28.III). Scarce issue on letter - the 1 millieme value prepaid the postage on letters of any weight, the Army paid an indemnity of £ 700 to underwrite this scheme which obviated having to weigh each item sent. The scheme however, lasted less than a year.
