I repeat them here

I wish to respond to something rod222 posted above. Can someone advise me how to make a link between rod222's post and my response?
Thanks

Some of the earlier stamps used for Telegraphic purposes were identified by the ARMY TELEGRAPH cancellation. The Letters indicate from which town or garrison the telegram originated. These cancellations were applied to both Provisional Egyptian overprints and the new Camel Post stamps.

Here is a good illustration of how the bi-sected Sudan Telegraph stamps were used. The Top half would have been detached and given to the SENDER, while the bottom half would have been retained by the Telegraph Office for purposes of sending and record.

This is what your Sudan Bisected Telegraph stamp album pages should look like.

However I do have a lot of Egypt!

SORRY, BUT I'M TOTALLY DYSLEXIC WHEN IT COMES TO THIS STUFF, BUT I'D LIKE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

Pyramid & Sphinx Egyptian stamps were used provisionally in the early days of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium period of Sudan. They were overprinted SOUDAN in Arabic and English in order to distinguish them from their counterpart in Egypt. At the time, stamp collecting, particularly among the British, was at its heyday and everyone seemed to be collecting stamps. As a consequence, small time printers in Egypt were churning out fake SOUDAN overprints to meet the demand of collectors and tourists. There are numerous types and they make an interesting collection in their own pitiful right. Most are quite easy to identify as efforts to make an exact copy of the genuine overprint are quite rare. Most also have Egyptian cancellations which immediately tell you that it is not Sudanese. There are also fake 'Sudan' cancellations. The most difficult forgeries are those which used the original printing dies (apparently by some unscrupulous postal worker). However, these were overprinted on later issues of the Pyramid & Sphinx stamp that was by now printed on chalk-surfaced paper. You can identify the chalk surface by using a jeweler's glass.

OK no need to panic, we can sort it.
(Polite advice here) Capitals are considered to be "Shouting" and best avoided.
