Read about this in the APRL Journal and decided to give it a view. It is a pretty cool video about the Greco-Turk War of 1919-1922 put together by the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library. Worth a view if you got 15 spare minutes. Some info on postmarks for Smyrna and the US Black Sea Fleet caught my eye.

Thanks knuppster59, I knew almost nothing about that war, and did not know the US had a black sea fleet, at one time. Interesting.

Fabulous stuff K59,
thanks for sharing.

Those Rocky Mountain Philatelists are certainly high achievers.

Had to Google Thrace pronunciation, how the presenter uses "Trace" is a mystery.

Perhaps the presenter has some Ottoman/Turkish history background???

In Turkish, Thrace is Trakya, with a hard "T"
