October 15, 1946 more than likely...
Post-war Germany 24 pfennig definitive for use in the American, British and Soviet zones. Not quite as nice a cancel as yesterday's entry. Does anyone have a clue as to where this was cancelled? Just two letters to go by...

Canada FDC Oct 15 1968 Sc # 487 "In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the WWI by the Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. "In Flanders Fields" was first published on December 8 of that year in the London magazine Punch. It is one of the most quoted poems from the war. Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial for for soldiers who have died in conflict.(adapted and edited from Wikipedia)  |

Scott 2294 : Michel 2416  Funny how Michel doesn't group the two versions (water activated gum & self adhesive) together in their catalogue (Junior 2011), but places the Memorial Church at Speyer between the two!

21st October (1865) Cape of Good Hope, Sc5b, 6-pence grayish lilac depicting the allegorical figure of "Hope" seated, with an anchor as a symbol of the colony, cancelled on this date in 1865, 155 years ago today. Notes: I am not 100% sure, but this may be the first COGH triangle to grace this thread. Full disclosure: I don't own this stamp. COGH triangles with legible date stamps are far and few between in my experience, and this one is an exceptionally clear strike, so consequently commands quite a high price. It is also my understanding from what I have read that this type of CDS (Circular Date Stamp) is actually a fiscal cancel. CDS postmarks on COGH triangles are even more rare. The most commonly found cancels on these stamps were done with a triangular obliterator, which came in two sizes. I will post something about those at some point in the future in the COGH Postmarks thread.
