Hi All

       I am posting scans of two covers from HMS Ark Royal. One is marked received 11/7/60. What i would like to know is if any one can give me any information on the machine cancels on both of the covers. The covers were sent give or take a week or so of each other i would think. The covers cancels seem to have marked differences. Any help at all about the cancels or even the sender Commander A.C.W. Wills? would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

                                                                    Cheers

        Thanks again. My book came today and it has already come in handy and is a very useful book to have on the bookshelf.

What i  like about the book is the pictures of the covers which are in colour and are of a good size so you can see the cancels well. It is also easy to find what you are looking for.

                                                      Thank you
