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 block in question is a block of four of the 15+10 Rpf value (Mi.837) of the 1943 Armed Forces and Heroes' set.From the illustration it would appear that this is an imperforate block in brown. The issued stamp is described as 'dark red/brown and my best guess therefore is that it is a block of colour trials salvaged from the printing works immediately after the war. I can only add that I have never seen or heard of such items from this set before.
