The Reason That I Love Postal History
The term "Postal History" was coined by the great Robson Lowe:
"Postal history is the study of postal systems and how they operate and, or, the study of postage stamps and covers and associated material illustrating historical episodes of postal systems"
That's quite a mouthful, that can be abbreviated to "what can this cover tell me?"
There is a belief that Postal History relates to very old material. I'd like to show that a relatively common cover from WWII can tell a fascinating story of it's travels and it's times
This is the cover.
