Message: Dear GCPS - Members, a friend of mine asked me for some help about a stamp on an envelope. The stamp of BAOR (British Army on the Rhein) No 4 is Dusseldorf, where some barracks existed. What we don't understand is the fact, that the envelope bears a Stamp of Essen-Bredeney - where the Control Commission was seated at Villa Hügel as far as I know. But the envelope was sent to an address in Duisburg -to a RD&R post of BAOR. (Do not know what RD&R is-couldn't find it even in the military abbreviations. Can anybody help either with postal background or with any other information? Enclosed is a picture of the envelope! Best regards Achim Lange
