Postmarks

Suggested resources about the British postal system during World War One


Books:
​
History of the British Army Postal Service, Vol II, 1903-1927, Edward B Proud, Proud-Bailey Co Ltd, 1983. 312pp, hardback, illustrated with maps and photographs.
​
Postmarks were scrambled during WW1 so as to not reveal locations, therefore researching them can be challenging. Proud's book provides images of postmarks along with a location based on a date. Unfortunately it is not available online, The archives department at the Postal Museum (see above) have a copy of this book and may be able to help you with your inquiries.
