Anglia. 1915 (Nov 17) Cover franked 1d from Holyhead to the Hospital Ship "Anglia" at Dover, endorsed "Ship Sunk in Channel" with a Dover c.d.s applied a week later on Nov. 24th. The "Anglia" was sailing from Calais to Dover when she struck a mine and sank about noon on November 17th (almost the very time this cover was posted); 139 patients and 10 medical staff were lost. Two punch holes, otherwise fine, a unique and remarkable cover. Photo on Page 12.
