The best introduction to Burma album pages are a few copies of Indian stamps used in Burma before it became a crown colony in 1937 and got its own stamps. Except for Rangoon, these postmarks are hard to find, but the hunt will help you follow the Allies' reconquest of this land.
Chief Burmese postmarks are :
Ahlone, Akyab, Amherst, Bassein, Bhamo, Gyo-bingauk, Hopin, Hsipaw, Insein, Kalaw, Kawiin, Kaungyangon, Kyangin, Kyaukme, Kyauksa, Lanywa, Lashio, Loilem, Magwe, Mandalay, Mau-bin, Maymyo, Meiktila, Mergui, Mogaung, Mogok, Monywa, Moulmein, Mupin, Myingyan, Myit'ky-ina, Namtu, Pakokku, Palaw, Pegu, Prome, Py-apon, Pyu, Rangoon, Sagaing, Sandoway, Shwebo, Shwedaung, Syriam, Tavoy, Tharrawaddy, Thaton, Thayetmyo, Toungoo, Wakema, Yame-thin, Yandoor, Zegyo and Zigon.—
