King George VI from the GSM Archives

GSM

The GSM archives offer a wealth of information on topics ranging from the introduction of the first postal stamps to postal history, routes and rates. Here, Gibbons Stamp Monthly Editor, Dean Shepherd has selected a couple of his favourite KG VI features.  It was a fascinating period for philately and these two excellent articles cover the transition from traditional printing and the chaotic days and weeks following the abdication of Edward VIII.
