Here are a few of the 1912 Greek "campaign" stamps I've collected, with some nice cancels.

Here's an example of the "campaign" stamps on cover, from Moudros (on the island of Lemnos) to Beirut, then part of the Turkish Empire; the cancel reads May 1915.

Sorry about that, warrehouse; I hadn't put in my location yet when I started this topic. Anyway, I am in the US.

No that's ok! You seem to be strong in Greece related material.
By the way that cover you've shown is very cool.

Thanks, everyone.

I do have a fairly good amount of older Greek material in my collection.
