Burma Road, military mail, Cover sent to Tel Aviv from besieged Jerusalem, June 7, 1948 - To get around the blockade, a crude 'road' was fashioned over hills and through brush and steep inclines. (It was nicknamed Burma Road after a supply road the British had built in China.) Some jeeps succeeded in getting through with important supplies, and some letters were carried as well. This one was carried by such a courier to Tel Aviv on June 7th, eleven days before the first convoy of armored trucks got through. It is from one army post office to another. In Tel Aviv, stamps were applied and it was forwarded 11x13 cm. please see scans for self-grading. In addition, 1st day cover of the memorial stamp in memory of Those Who Fell Breaking The Siege.  Item from the collections of Jacob Yablok - VirtualJewishmuseum.com. The item is placed in a quality proactive nylon sleeve and can be easily and safely taken out from the display page. Displayed on a thin cardboard sheet with an explanation and photos on the background of Israel's flag.
