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.
