The last remnants of the former Denikin forces were confined in 1920 to the Crimean Peninsula and commanded by Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel.
The Bolsheviks captured the White Army position in November 1920 and the White forces were evacuated to Turkey. Together with Russian civilians, the French granted them asylum. The 4.500 civilians and the Wrangel Army were hosted in camps in Constantinople and suburbs, at Gallipoli, at Lemnos, at Famagusta (Cyprus), Bulgaria and Serbia, before they leave to Tunisia (Bizerte).
Their very small quantity of mail was served by the French Military Post.
The well known large “postmarks” and the overprinted stamps seen on “philatelic” covers are of private inspiration and production (bogus), made some years later in Paris (1924?), in order to collect money from the philatelic market for these refugees.
The genuine mail is extremely rare.

This cover (handmade wrapper) was written at Портъ Галиполи 14.Ноября.1920 (Port of Gallipoli, 14 November 1920, old style calendar) by a soldier who gives many important information about their arrival at Gallipoli (we are waiting for tents, they are 8 meters long etc, etc).
Sent via the Hellenic (Greek) Post Office of ΚΑΛΛΙΠΟΛΙΣ 17.ΝΟΕ.20 (Gallipoli), franked with 5λ (corner copy) and 20λ (damaged) Greek lithographic stamps overprinted Διοίκησις Θράκης (Administration of Thrace, area occupied by the Greeks for a little more that 2 years).
Sent to his mother in France.

One of the three known covers.
