Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
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.

Message: I have in my collection a postcard from German U-Boot UB48 in the Adriatic in WWI. It is mailed from Sebernico in 1917. Although it is written in pencil and the message is very brief, the source is quite clear However, what puzzles me is the stamp at the top right "SM Schiff Pola". As far as I can make from searching the web on this name, this was an Austrian expedition ship in the Red Sea at the end of the Nineteenth Century, but I have found no mention in WWI Any ideas?
