Display: The President invited Mr [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname], Perth, to present his display of Indian Campaign Mail. Mr [CENSORED: surname] showed material from the early campaigns, of which there were many, up to the early 1900s. There were many rare, and very rare, covers – most with accompanying letters which gave the history as it had happened. Extremely interesting material from Tibet, The North West Frontier and the Chinese Expeditionary Force again with extremely rare Field Post Office markings and franks.

The second round continued in the same vein, with no lessening of standards or rarity. Chinese Expeditionary Force Chinese and Indian stamp ‘combination’ covers. Indian Mutiny material from The Col. K. Young correspondence ( Young was the Judge Advocate General of the Indian and the Bengal Armies) and material from the Philby (father of the spy) correspondence.

Vote of Thanks: In giving the vote of thanks, [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] said that we had benefited from the great amount of research that Mr [CENSORED: surname] had done and thanked him for the way he had explained things. Apart from the Philatelic interest there had been great historical interest and it had been a privilege to have seen so much interesting and rare material. This was wholeheartedly endorsed by the Society.

Next Meeting:’France and Germany’ by Mr & Mrs [CENSORED: surname].

Tea Rota: [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname]
