Postal History of World War I
Photographic Postcards of World War I
The Postal History :
The book covers (in over 470 pages, many in colour): Civil Postal Services, Postal Censorship, Civil Censorship Resealing Labels, Military Postal Services,
Royal Navy Mail and Censorship, The Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force, British Army Mail and Censorship, Troopship Mail, Hospital Ships Mail,
Mail from the Wounded, Allied Forces Mail, Maltese On Active Service Overseas, Prisoners of War at Malta, Prisoner of War Postal History, The SMS Emden prisoners in Malta,
Prisoner of War Postal Stationery, Prisoner of War greeting cards and special events, Turkish Deportees in Malta 1919 – 1921. There are detailed appendices which give for
the first time a comprehensive listing of all PoWs held in Malta. There is a huge amount of original, never before published, research. This book is set to become the
definitive work on the postal history of this fascinating period.
The photographic postcards:
In its over 250 pages, this exceptionally visual book illustrates almost 500 photographic (not the common, printed) cards which so ably depict what life was like for the
Allied forces and especially the Prisoners of War during the war. The range of illustrations on the PoW material, showing the camps, living conditions, the arts,
personalities and people, special events, exhibitions of prisoners’ work has never been equalled. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Malta,
and especially in PoWs. It is remarkable how many such images have survived, and indeed were permitted by the authorities, especially when compared to the paucity of such
cards from the second World War.
Taken together these books represent, arguably, the most comprehensive historical review of Malta in World War I yet published. The role of Malta during this
conflict has, perhaps, not yet been fully recognised. It was an invaluable Naval Base, acted as the ‘Nurse of the Mediterranean’, catering for large numbers of wounded troops,
and provided accommodation for Prisoners of War of many nationalities. Malta also sent many of its own men overseas to serve the Allied cause. The books tell these stories through
postal history, and photographic cards.
