The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
I have just joined the Society, am a novice and have become interested in the period 1815 to 1872. Can any members suggest either a website or a book/article in the Society's library which would give me information on cancels, postal charges and so on for this period. It can be in German. I found one in Wikipedia but now have lost it again. Many thanks.
