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: I believe that Giles is correct in his assessment of these cancellations. This is hardly surprising, because Giles has a vast amount of philatelic knowledge and an admirable willingness to assist others. A book that MIGHT help identify the town is Karl-Heinz Utz's book, Handbuch Tarnstempel Stumme Stempel der Deutschen Feldpost 1939-45 that was published by the author in 1997. The reason that I wrote MIGHT is that determining the origin of mute cancellations is, obviously, tricky. If the parcel card were complete and if it included a Feldpost number, the task might be easier. "Pieces" are often frustrating. Ben Beede
