Hello

i have this stamp

on the forum i have found a lot of information about the history of the colonies and protectorates in Africa but i am wondering in hat forum i should post this stamp.

I have found a chart where it says that this particular region was active from 1903 till 1922. Does anyone know if there is a seperate forum to post stamps from this region and timezone.

What that your intent? If you just wanted to share, you would post in the Africa section.

The various East Africa regions are now separately known as. Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda but back in the early 1900s were separate territories.

Tanganyika was a German colony , British East Africa and Uganda were British protectorates , as was Zanzibar.

By the 1920s Tanganyika was governed by Britain under a League of Nations Mandate , British East Africa was now called Kenya, and for a time they were all administered jointly as Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika……. That mouthful is often referred to as KUT until 1963.

They separated with independence in the 1960s, Tanganyika united with Zanzibar to become Tanzania .

So your stamp is a forerunner of Kenya with Uganda.

what ever it is , it's better than a poke in the eye from a wet umbrella!
