Cancellations of the First Republic - 02

Here are some of my recent acquisitions of postmarks from the First Lithuanian Republic.

Laižuva P.A. (Pašto agentūra/Post agent) 1921. Not in the best condition but how can I pass Laižuva P.A. 1921? Nooo way! 

Virbalis 1925 

Saugai 1929. Recently I give much attention to those former Memelgebiet towns. German name: Saugen 

Šakiai 1931 

Railway post Klaipėda-Kybartai 193? Possibly, The longest route in Lithuania.

Definitely not so common Vilnius 10! I was lucky for this one. Postmark date: 26.3.1940

Kybartai 1905

Кибарты / Kibarty (now Kybartai, Lithuania)

This is a postcard sent in 1905 from Кибарты / Kibarty (now Kybartai, Lithuania), Сувалк. г.(Suvalki Gubernia) as you can see on the cancellation. The inscription of the postcard says: Wirballen (german name for Virbalis) - Вержболово / Verzhbolovo (russian name for Virbalis, probably originating from the polish name Wierzbołów). This is because the Germans concidered Kybartai as a part of Virbalis because of the railway station , but in fact, Kybartai was listed as a separate village under the Imperial Russian authority and had its own cancellation. The russian orthodox church on the picture was in the present Kybartai.

Kybartai 1916

A postcard sent in 1916 from the felpost station 166. This feldpost station was along with the 40th reserve corps, active around the border area which Kybartai is part of. They later move to Vilnius. Many might be wondering why i wrote Kybartai and not Wirballen (now Virbalis, Lithuania) as it says on the postcard. At the time this postcard was written, it was Wirballen/Virbalis railway station, but the town itself was far from the station. So later they renamed the station Kybartai(Kibarten in german) after the village near by. The present town of Virbalis does not have a railway station.

Kybartai 1942

An Ostland overprint postcard posted from the Dienstpost Ostland in Kibarten, now Kybartai, Lithuania. Sent from a certain Ruth Willuhn in 1942, living in Gedimino Str 11, Kauen (Kaunas, lithuania) to Else Willuhn in Berlin.
