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: The missing word is OSTSEEBAD. Rauschen is on the Baltic coast in the old Prussian province of Samland. The city of Konigsberg is nearby. It was a Baltic Spa and popular tourist place. Of all the towns left behind by the Germans it, apparently, alone still has a strong Germanic character even after 70 years of Russian rule. This part of Prussia is now part of Russia. Of course, no Germans live there now.
