The Stuart Rossiter Trust is delighted to announce two important new Postal History books published in the first quarter of 2010.


Netherlands Mail in Times of Turmoil Volume 1 1568-1795

By Kees Adema FRPSL



The main objective of this study of Dutch field post and related subjects has been to cover philatelic aspects of correspondence related to wars, military operations, upheavals and civil unrest. However to appreciate how and why the mail was carried an understanding of each conflict or war is crucial. The historic, military and political background of the period in question and chronologies of relevant events puts the philatelic aspects into their proper historical context. In this way the reader's curiosity will be stirred.
ISBN 978-0-9545207-5-5

RAILWAY DISASTER MAIL

By Robin Gwynn FRPSL, FRPNZ and Norman Hoggarth




The picture of the Tay Bridge Disaster recalls the great words of William Topaz McGonagall, Poet & Tragedian of Dundee. His famous poem, published by David Winter & Son Ltd, of Dundee, begins ....


The Tay Bridge Disaster

Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!

Alas! I am very sorry to say

That ninety lives have been taken away

On the last Sabbath day of 1879,

Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
