Siberian Expeditionary Force

This certainly seems to be my day for dredging up old covers and old mysteries.

Here is what I believe to be a really fascinating slice of history. Toward the end of WW I, the Allied governments sent an expeditionary force to Vladivostock to take control of the Pacific Terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway. There is a well written Wikipedia article on this subject.

Part of this International Force was the Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force (CSEF) and part of Canadian contingent was B Squadron of the Royal North West Mounted Police - RNWMP - today the RCMP.

Below is a post card that recently surfaced in family papers. It is addressed to a family member that by this time was invalided out of the army due to the 1918 flu epidemic. I researched the sender at the RCMP Depot Museum in Regina, SK, (well worth a visit if you are ever there) and discovered that it was sent by a W. Hawkes. Their records show these volunteers as having resigned from the Police in order to join the military.

Beyond the historical interest, I have a question for any military postmark specialist. I have references that show the CSEF postmark but have not run across any illustration or reference to the B Squadron marking. Any info on that? Or suggestion for a link I can try? Is it considered just an Orderly Room Stamp?

I thought that I would give this one another try since there have been a couple of threads about the Siberian Force recently posted.

My question remains the same as it was in the original post from 2011.

No answers for you myself, but have you checked these links? They may give you some leads:

Classic-paper. That second link you posted is an excellent historical source. And the "Squadron B" marking I was asking about is mentioned and illustrated. As I suspected, it is a censor stamp applied to the card before posting. Thank you.
