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: Thanks for the tip, Giles. Skibotn is on the coast and so cannot be the location the pencilled note on the back of my cover refers to; however, it's only about 50km away, so we're clearly on the right track. My cover is postmarked 10.11.44, and your source gives the OT work in Skibotn as ending 6.11.44. Maybe then they moved on to the 3-country border area, but I can't find any reference to that. Nor can I find, there or elsewhere, any reference to Czechs working for OT. He presumably can't have been either a PoW or a KZ-inmate, as he's using the German Feldpost. Best wishes, Philip
