ARMENIA Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic Semi-Postals
1929 In 1929, the Soviet Armenian Post Office overprinted stamps to aid abandoned children. A total of 4,313 were prepared to be sold in Yerevan Post Office on April 23,24 and 25, 1929. The stamps arrived at the Post Office only on April 25 and only 458 were sold, with balance turned over to the Armenian State Museum. Very few of these stamps still exist and little is known about them, hence they have been omitted from catalogues. This cover with pre-printed tri-lingual "Comite des secours d'Armenie" is franked with three Soviet stamps handstamped in violet ("Help Abandoned Children 23-25.IV.1925") and was sent on 25th April to the venerable firm of Vahan Mozian in New York City. On reverse, there is a handstamp of the Central Administration of HOK, Hayastani Komideh Armenian Relief Yerevan, cover with filing folds, creases and minor faults, of no importance considering its rarity

ETHIOPIA
1868 Napier Expedition mourning cover sent from Capt. Elliott to his wife in Bangalore, India, franked with 4a blue green (officer's rate), tied by "F.F." (Field Forces) diamond grid, sent via Bombay, with red F.F.P.O. Abyssinia, Bombay transit and Bangalore arrival on reverse, part of cover torn away below address, with some sensible reinforcements. The Expedition to Magdala of 1867-78 was a memorable event in British military history, and in the history of Ethiopia. The campaign was a triumph for Sir Robert Napier and it sealed the fate of the Ethiopian Emperor Tewodros (Theodore II) who committed suicide, rather than to fall in the hands of his enemies. The effects of the Napier expedition still resonate in Ethiopia to this day, with an active campaign for the restitution of looted manuscripts and other treasures (by British troops)
