Sardinian Expeditionary Corps in Crimea. Entire letter from Turin dispatched on 3.8.1855 with corresponding cds and “P.P.” hs on front, struck on receipt with “POSTA MILE SARDA/16 AGO. 55” FPO cds on reverse, a very rare incoming mail on the day the Sardinian Corps got its baptism of fire and during its most celebrated achievement in the War: the important Battle of the Chernaya (16 August), where their bravery was recognised and was a contributing factor for the Sardinian participation at the negotiation tables at the end of the War.
