Harry's Stamps

Harry's stamps are on sale now.

The main company "The Westminster Collection" prefers to deal directly with customers but is happy to take orders through the website.

On Remembrance Sunday a special wreath will be laid for the UK overseas territories, including the British Indian Ocean Territory. The wreath remembers the 3,000,000 troops provided by the empire in World War I. In order to commemorate their soldiers the British Indian Ocean Territory have produced a special 2008 set of Remembrance Stamps. This beautiful six value set features six stamp sheets showing valiant World War I soldiers, of all levels and ranks, and extracts from their letters home. Included in the set is a sheet dedicated to Harry Lamin himself. It features his image and part of one of his letters home.

"Just to let everyone know that I received these stamps today (I live in the US) and they are GREAT! if you are related to any of the WWI vets or have been following Harry's blog - I strongly recommend these."

I understand that, Philatelically speaking, a "broken" set with just Harry's stamps will have little value to a collector. The complete set is the interesting product.
