THE POSTAL HISTORY OF THE ARMY OF THE BLACK SEA 1918 -1923
A comprehensive study of the postal history and associated military history of the British and Indian occupation forces in the Balkans, Turkey, South Russia and Transcaucasia. Also covered are the Army's brief connections with Transcaspia and the North Persia Force.
Part 1 of the book deals with the postal history of the army and field post offices of the British and Indian Army Postal Services in this Near and Middle East theatre. All known locations and dates of use of the post offices are recorded, together with notes of grey areas still to be resolved.
Part 2 gives the order of battle by the various command headquarters and is followed in Part 3 by the locations and movements of the mounted and infantry regiments.
"As a reference work it is nothing short of superb and seems certain to stand the test of time as a valuable tool for the postal historian...it is so amazingly thorough...All in all it is a magnificent accomplishment." Gibbons Stamp Monthly April 2006
"The author has done a splendid job of drawing upon military history to facilitate the understanding of postal history. Highly recommended." Collectors Club New York, April 2005
