A lot of my Postmarks are going to be Khartoum, naturally, the capital city. But I think my 10 Piastre Camel Postman sports a "Wadi Halfa" postmark, (on the shores of Lake Nubia.) Steamers once plied the river. Here is some fascinating info on the TPOs (Travelling Post Offices): Shellal / Halfa TPOs  |

Echoes of Sudanese history, reverberate down the years, to the tiny little country town, in which I live.
My place became a town, in 1898 when Kitchener fought in the Sudan in 1898 at the Battle of Omdurman. (1898)
We have an Omdurman Street (The largest city in the Sudan)
We have a Khedive Street (Lord or Viceroy in Sudanese)
Winston Churchill was there, 24 years old, a lieutenant journalist in the 21st Lancers.

I notice that the Scott Catalog (at least the 2014 edition I have) does not describe official Sudan stamps perforated with SG. Anyone know why?  |
