WWI French detatchment in Palestine: circa. 1918 color ppc of Constantinpole with space for address only ex [JERUSALEM] to FRANCE stamped by illustrated ”Commissariat Fran�aise en Palestine” violet cachet and also by very rare violet 2-line text ”Le Haut Commissaire de la R�publique Fran�aise en Palestine” - this undocumented . The illustrated cachet is known used at least from July 1918. Unfranked, as official mail. The text cachet may indicate that the ppc was sent by the High Commissioner personally - Fran�ois Georges Picot (Dec. 1917 - 1919), the co-architect of the ”Sykes-Picot” treaty.
