Kurdarah

71 miles north of Baghdad East on the railway line from Baghdad East to Khanakin/Kirkuk.

This photo I harvested some time ago from an online auction lot. The image was part of an old album from an Iraq traveller and was labelled as showing the Kurdarah railway station. If you see the surroundings it does not make you wonder why so little mail is known from these small stations.

The postmark is not very clear but with the help of some graphic programms I was able to identify the postmark as the one from Kurdarah.
