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: Hello Bill Looks like it's up to me again !! The text and translation on the Ulrich von Hutten WHW postal stationery card read as follows: Sterben kann ich, aber Knecht sein kann ich nicht. Auch Deutschland geknechtet sehen kann ich nicht. Geb. 21.4.1488 gest. 29.8.1523 Vorkämpfer für die deutsche Geistesfreiheit. I can die, but slave I cannot be. Also Germany enslaved I cannot see. b. 21.4.1488 d. 29.8.1523 Pioneer for German freedom of spirit. Cheers Giles
