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: Hello again, I have this postcard from Kiautschou,sent to Asuncion in Paraguay, with transit in Yokohama, Japan, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. As far as I understand 10 pfennig was the proper rate for a postcard sent abroad on those days, but I'm far from being an expert on rates. So I wonder why those japanese stamps were applied. Is that a tax?, or what is the reason of those stamps there? Any help is much appreciated. Fernando
