Cover of the Day 23 May: New Zealanders in the Korean War

[Michael Dobbs]

Sorry for my long absence, but I have had society matters to attend to as well as other philatelic matters connected with my Kent Federation role, also garden, shopping and mounting up material - last but not least a complicated 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of the London tube system/DRL/Overground to try and complete (the various lines were relatively easy, its all the white spaces inbetween and surrounding it that is giving me a headache to try and complete!!).

Anyhow, my cover continues with the 70th anniversary of the Korean War - this time with New Zealand APO 444, which was in Korea for a short period but spent most of its time in Japan.

I should add that the addressee - Harold Hare - was a well known collector and former member of the Society.

Not still doing that jigsaw?

[Michael Dobbs]

Alan - yes indeed and its going to take me some time to finish!  I managed to place four pices of whiteness this evening!

Hi Mike

Nice material, cannot recollect much on this conflict. Can give you 8 pages in the Autumn journal if you'd like to put something together on the 70th Anniversary.

"Blood and guts" material in preference to "philatelic items if possible.  :)
