Erin - Serbia. 1915 (June 15) Picture postcard of the Red Cross yacht "Erin", written from Salonica to London, "just a card to tell you that I am on my way home, am on Sir. T. Lipton's yacht as far as Marseille", a stamp strangely cancelled by a 31 May Salonica c.d.s then removed with a boxed cross handstamp in red where the stamp was placed, subsequently posted in Serbia with a Niche c.d.s (June 15) and black "T/5", endorsed in blue crayon "O.A.S, Seen by (initials)". A red Serbia censor applied, then sent via Austria with a censor cachet of Vienna. An extraordinary card, that presumably fell into the hands of the Austrians but was treated as P.O.W mail and delivered via Switzerland. Also an unused card of the yacht "Erin" with Red Cross markings. Very few items are known posted from "Erin". (2). Photo on Page 28.
