Rodney, my memory has been rendered unreliable by old age, rum and smoking, but I think I recall that, in 19th Century India, Other Ranks received postage rate concessions, but that officers didn't. I wonder if some similar arrangement applied to non-commissioned officers here. |

I see, my learned friend.
That makes sense, but I had not read of it before now.

Castelrosso Postage due : Here the humidity was so great, blotches formed on the sheet, I would suggest the paper was actually quite wet bordering on soggy. Probably in a Chinese stock book in a shed in mid winter.  |

Hi Rodney, I like your Hejaz postage due stamp - very nice!
I've not seen any of this set before except for black and white pictures in the catalogue. |
