Canada Covers

Military WWII. Canadian Army Orderly Room Hand Stamps. An extensively researched and mounted collection of 36 covers, each neatly described on 18 pages (plus a cover page). These markings were applied to much of the mail sent by Canadians serving in Europe during WWII as a way of confirming which unit the cover was from and ensuring that they did indeed benefit from the “Free Frank” postage free sending of mail during active service. Loads of interesting markings in here including 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, Canadian General Hospital, Edmonton Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders, Black Watch, Machine Gun Holding Unit, Royal Canadian Engineers etc. While these markings played a significant role in the postal history of WWII, there is still significant research to be done into these diverse markings. Offered as received. Estimate -
