I have a couple of stamp (unfortunately no one on cover) with what I suppose to be military cancels. They all bear "Srat. Taxydromio" in a single circle. ΣΤΡΑΤΙΩΤΙΚΟ ΤΑΧΥΔΡΟΜΕΙΟ stand for military post office (poste militaire in French). But I was unable to find documentation about the use of these cancellations and identification of the various number (like we have for UK, US, French and German feldpost cancels). Is anyone aware of any catalogue or website with such a listing?  |

rod222 Thanks for the nice facebookgroup with a lot of interesting pictures and documentation. Concerning stampcircuit, I prefer to go directly to the dealer website of Karamitsos. (https://www.karamitsos.com/activeAuctions.php) They keep archive of their auction and you can go trough them. It's a good source of information.
