British Post Offices in the Levant - The Georgian Period

Introduction

This display of British Levant illustrates the story of the British Post Offices in the Levant from the issue of the first KGV surcharges in 1911 until the closure of the last office in 1923. All the British PO's closed at the outbreak of World War I and the offices in Salonica and Beyrout and the Stamboul sub-office never re-opened. The display covers the re-opening of the British PO's in Smyrna and Constantinople in 1919 and includes the graphic story of The British Salonica Force during the war.
