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 your direct e-mails, Alan. Regarding your supplementary question here I think it must have been a coincidence but I grant it is odd. It seems from the information in Crüsemann that over 8 months elapsed between SMS Yorck's last return to port at Wilhemshaven given as being on 27.2.13 and SMS Seydlitz's first departure from Wilhelmshaven said to be 4.11.13. I would have thought many opportunities would have arisen in the intervening period for MSP36 to have been reissued to other ships. Giles
