DANZIG British Administration

Pursuant to the Treaty of Versailles, British forces were assigned to Danzig pending the eventual disposition of this port that was disputed between Germany and Poland. They were assigned the use of FPO H.2., which is recorded as used there from 16 February to 27 November 1920. Note the green cachet inscribed \"Allied Administration/Danzig,\" of which only two examples have been reported. In due course, the Free City of Danzig was created under the auspices of the League of Nations.
