| Italian postal cancellation from Adigrat, a town in the Tigray region, Ethiopia, during the Italo-Ethiopian War. The postmark, dated May 29, 1936, features the name "Adigrat" at the top and "Eritrea" at the bottom, reflecting the Italian administration's shifting of postal services in the occupied territory. This artifact highlights the historical postal connections and political changes in the Horn of Africa during the 1930s. |
