Great cancels Tom thanks for sharing

I Just started "really looking at cancels a couple a weeks ago. Now they play a big part in which stamps go in my albums.

I have also started a new collection of "Neat cancels from around the world"

Thanks folks.....

You'd think there would be quite a few from this set with dates that match war events, but in a number of years of hunting, these are my only two so far. I'm sure they're not worth a lot, but I'd love to have a lot more of them.
