What do we know about André L. Leralle? Not much yet, but the readers of this
site may want to contribute their knowledge.
He seemes to have been an employee or a bank manager of the "Banque de l'Indochine et de Suez"
in Indochina for some years with world-wide contacts and he travelled a lot himself and sent letters home.
His name is on a passenger list of the steamer MAJESTIC to New York arriving there on January 4, 1923.
The MAJESTIC sailed from Cherbourg on 27 December 1922. His age is given as 26.
He is possibly the Léon André Gustave Leralle born in Garnich, Luxembourg on 19 September 1896. Some of his letters are addressed to Luxembourg so
he may have had connections there.
Leralles Paris address was 9 rue des Lions
and his profession was given as bank agent. Destination: Papeete Tahiti.
January 4, 1923 New York
New York immigration report: Leralle is the 6th from top.
Leralle came to New York on January 4, 1923 with the steamer MAJESTIC from Cherbourg. He was on transit to Papeete, Tahiti.
His home address was 9 rue des Lions, Paris and his birthplace was Garniel Luxembourg. (correct name of the town: Garnich)
On 31 July 1949 his address was given by the "Société des Océanistes" as 18, rue Tronchet, Paris VIIIe. This is
the same address he used in the 1930s on a couple of his letters.
Later he turned to the stamp business and particularly postal history after his
retirement in the late forties and then definitely retired in the fifties on the
Cote d'Azur. His address in 1952: 2 avenue Saint-Laurent, Monte Carlo. He was also a member of the "Société des Océanistes".
1963 he is mentioned in the "Canadian Philatelist" in Monaco.
February 2013: I just saw a 1928 cover in a dealer offer sent from Papeete to "Monsieur A. Leralle, Caissier Banque Indo-Chine, Hanoi, Tonkin". So he was with the Banque de l'Indochine at that time!
December 2018: I found an old document: "Bulletin de la Socété d'Études Océaniennes", No. 8, Dec. 1923. In this document
Mister Leralle is listed as "Trésorier" = Treasurer of SEO.
October 2021: In the October 1985 issue of "France & Colonies Philatelist" I found a text describing A. Leralle as a "Paris stamp dealer" who had a lot of
underfranked covers sent to the Cantho post office and marked with private "Taxe Minimum" rubber stamps (which was legal then). In the same journal of June 1965 Leralle
was mentioned as "the late A. Leralle" who was one of the few French collectors of Paquebot covers. So he died about 1964/65.
It is very interesting to see how early Monsieur Leralle began his career as cover producer: when assembling my "just for fun" Christmas Island Local
page ( click here! ) I found 1923 covers which are from Leralle without doubt.
According to the Bulletin de la Société des Océanistes, Papeete, Décembre 1923, André Leralle was treasurer when Emmanue
Rougier was acting President of this Society in Tahiti.
Until 30 September 2023, we can document 222 New Hebrides Leralle covers.

He sent me the scan of this letter as it provides another piece of information about André Leralle. Thanks, Ron.
1926 Leralle Hanoi
This item is of interest as it indicates Leralle stayed in room 132 of Hanoi's Grand Hotel Metropole at one point.
Interestingly, one of the stamps has a "BIC" perfin, another link to the Bank of Indochina. (this text Ron Bentley)
Just seen: February 2015 & January 2019:
"Monsieur A. Leralle, Banque de l'Indochine Cantho"
So in early 1932 he was still in Indo-China and in late 1932 he was in Tahiti where he was treasurer of the "Société des Océanistes" (SEO)

André Leralle always had an interest in special frankings on his covers: Here is one sent from Tahiti to the Luxembourg address franked
with a 20c French Oceania stamp and an overprinted 2c from Rarotonga. Backstmaped on arrival Luxembourg-Ville 20.4.1934.

Cover from Papeete to Luxembourg
We have found that the handwritings, addresses and names differ. The covers
addressed to Curios or Miss Evelyn Sainthabyn, Georgetown, British Guyana
with POSTED AT SEA NEW HEBRIDES have been manufactured by Mr. Leralle as well.
It seems that covers sent to Monsieur Lefranc with PAQUEBOT cancels and to
Mr. Clerget are from Leralle too. (Most of this information thanks to Alain Millet, France.)
Yes, he was a "covermaker", but at least he tried to make the covers in a way
which suggested normal use and with the correct prepayment. These covers are a unique part of the postal history
of the New Hebrides, as they show postal markings which may not be recorded
elsewhere.
His favourites were ship and airmail covers. I saw an 11 January 1935
aerogramme from Oubangui to the Vignon address and a 4 March 1935 aerogramme
from Tchad to the Tronchet address too.
André Leralle was a member of the Académie de Philatélie, Paris and author of many philatelic
books. I think he died at the end of 1963 or beginning of 1964.
Update on 4 January 2019: from "Les Feuilles Marcophiles" 1963 I learned that Andé Leralle died on 19 December 1963 aged 68 years.
He wrote a couple of articles for this journal.
Update on 9 April 2020: My friend "SeSi" from France sent me a double censored cover from the Vila postmaster to Monsieur Leralle from
10 April 1945 to his "27 rue vignon" address. Leralle may have still be interested in New Hebrides stamps.

The following first twelve covers are exceptionally early "Leralle covers".
8 September 1923
Wonderful cover from the "El Kantara", backstamped Papeete 8 September 1923. This
mailboat inaugurated the passenger service by Messagerie Maritimes bewteen
Nouméa and Marseilles in 1923. These ships called at Vila, Tahiti, Cristobal, Martinique
and Guadeloupe, the service ceasing in 1940. It was revived in 1950, when it was
extended from Nouméa to Sydney. ("Aore" coll.)
8 September 1923
August/ September 1923: Between 1919 and 1925 she made 5 voyages on the route Marseille - Papeete - Port
Vila - Nouméa and return via Panama. This cover (and possibly the other two here
too as the handwriting seems similar to me) was probably posted on board after the ship
had left the New Hebrides on its return voyage to France and despatched in Suva.
It was backstamped, on arrival, Papeete 8-9 23. ("JGI" coll.)
8 September 1923
El Kantara sailed from Marseilles July 17, 1923 and after transitting
the Panama Canal her run to New Caledonia took in the Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, and the New Hebrides. She
arrived in Noumea on 20 July 1923. She left Port Vila on 21 August to Suva-Apia-Papeete.
So these letters were sent on her way back from this inauguration travel.
Another one with a 1912 25c French stamp tied with the "El Kantara" handstamp.
This letter is by the same sender than the other three.

9 January 1924
Built as "Port Kingston" (7,585 tons) in 1904 for Imperial Direct West India Mail Co and operated in the West
Indies as a passenger / cargo ship there. The Union Steamship Co of NZ bought her in 1911, refitted her as
passenger only, and renamed her "Tahiti" for the Sydney - Wellington - Rarotonga - Tahiti - San Francisco
route (serving also as a troopship in and immediately after WWI). She was involved in Sydney Harbour's
most fatal shipping accident when, in the afternoon of 3rd Nov 1927 she collided with and sank the ferry
"Greycliffe". The ferry sank with the loss of 40 lives, many of them school children. The Tahiti herself sank
a few years later south of Rarotonga in 1930 after her starboard propeller shaft snapped and holed the hull.
All passengers and crew in this incident were saved.
