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.
As a sideline to my general collection of German postal history I also collect APO postal covers sent from US military bases in Germany. My father served with the US Army and we spent some years living in Germany, so it is fun to collect items from US MILCOMs in Germany which I have visited. My questions are, does anyone else collect these items and do they actually have a place in a Germany collection?
