Montgomery, Alabama, Aviation Branch Cover

Montgomery, Alabama, had several military facilities active during the First World War. This cover origininated from a soldier stationed at the General Aviation Supply Depot. The hand cancel shows the name of the "Aviation Branch" of Montgomery, a special Post Office branch set up to service mail from the soldiers. These covers are quite uncommon, since there were very few soldiers stationed at this facility.
