Salvation Army Covers
Do you have any in your collection?

A number of mainly Great
Britain commemorative covers exist about which there is some doubt
as to the authenticity. It would appear that some, if not all of
these covers have had the cachet added at a date a considerable
time after the postmarked date. Why? Maybe it was thought that
adding a cachet would increase the value of the originally
produced plain covers, although with relatively small numbers
involved it would seem a lot of effort for a small return. Is it
perhaps a deliberate attempt to deceive the collector? The truth
is we don't really know.
If you wish to collect these covers then fine, as long as you know
the background to them it is purely your decision. We offer this
information to try to prevent collectors buying covers which are
probably not what they purport to be. Whilst we believe that the
details on this page are correct, we would welcome any information
regarding the authenticity or otherwise of any of these covers.
All cachets are in black and white any many appear to have been
reproduced from colour originals on other commemorative covers,
and photocopied onto the plain covers. Please note the cachet
illustrations are smaller than actual size.
We are indebted to Harry Hayes, founder of the Salvation Army
Philatelic Circle for the information and illustrations on this
page.
