Military Postal History. “Mail to and from Canada’s Corvette Navy 1940 to 1945”. An almost single frame (15 page including the title page) exhibit, featuring the mail from the Corvette Ships of WWII (think of the 20c War Issue stamp #260). A total of 14 covers, all neatly displayed and extensively researched with each cover representing a different ship in the fleet. The ships featured here are the HMCS Buctouche, HMCS Frontenac, HMCS Giffard, HMCS Guelph, HMCS Hawkesbury, HMCS Hepatica, HMCS Kenogami, HMCS Morden, HMCS Norsyd, HMCS Rimouski, HMCS Rosthern, HMCS Sorel, HMCS West York and the HMCS Weyburn. During WWII, 124 corvette ships served, 10 did not return. Spectacular grouping. Estimate -
