Canada Covers

World War One. Incoming covers to Canada from POW Prisoner of War at Harderwijk, Netherlands Internment Camp 1917/1918. Attractive duo of covers from the same correspondence, both sent to Miss Jean Taylor in London Ontario. Most likely posted from a Belgian soldier who fled Belgium to avoid being captured as a German POW and sought refugee status in The Netherlands. These Belgian soldiers were interned at empty military housing at several sites including Harderwijk, only able to return to their homeland at the end of the war in 1918. An interesting & historic pair. Estimate
