This postcard is one of the few unused cards in my collection. I keep it because of the 'one penny' label applied over the previous half-penny rate marking printed on the card. 000486f The Cottage Haddon Hall 000486r The Cottage Haddon Hall

Hi feebletodix:
Nice cards! I would not want to be the one who periodically trimed all of those sculptured hedges at Haddon Hall cottage! Also, could you explain the etymology of the term "flyposting?" I assume it relates to the placing of the Selfridge poster, but I have never heard the term before.
Thanks.
Don StampHinger

A hand out advertising leaflet is known as a “flyer” and pasting one such on a wall or lamppost ( without authorisation ) is known as “Fly posting”
We also have a problem of rogue builders etc illegally dumping trash in the country this is called “ fly tipping”

A "flyer" is a familiar term and I can now see the connection.
Thanks feebletodix and viking.

In random order some of my post cards starting with 000998f Field Service Post Card FPO17 B AU 28 15 000998r Field Service Post Card FPO17 B AU 28 15 Note: Your card is dated 5/15 (May 1915) in the text at the bottom of the back. Here is a newer version, dated 9/17 (September 1917) and canceled 22 August 1918 by the "U.S. Military Postal Express Service No. 715." Would you like me to post some other cards similar to those you have posted?

Thank you,
The early artwork does appeal to me more than the modern photgraphic items and the postmarks area a bonus allowing me to help Alan's postmark database.
