Spain, 1897 (July 1) cover from Leon to Valladolid (July 2), endorsed "es de United Nations militar" in the top right corner but not accepted as a soldiers free frank mail as evidenced by the unframed "15" Due handstamp (10c postage + 5c penalty), subsequently franked on arrival with 15c brown tied by straight-line "franqueo reclamado" (postage recovered) handstamp in violet. Unpaid mail could not be forwarded in Spain at the time, but since such occurrences did happen this system for collecting postage from the addressee without deficiency was devised, very rare and the only such example known to Mr. Gough during his 32 years of collecting. Very Fine.
