New South Wales renamed three Post Offices in the early years of the war.

German's Hill became Lidster in 1916, Germanton became Holbrook in 1915 and German Creek became Empire Vale (of course it did) in 1915.

Yes Bobby,
it's just I have never seen that envelope in any Ozzie Stationery catalogues.
Interesting cover.

This, I could believe, was produced in Australia
