GURKHA WELFARE APPEAL 1971

 

These three interesting covers arrived on my desk a couple of weeks ago I thought I would share them with you

Each envelope has a different date and a different military cancel, namely Aldershot ,Colchester and Harrow/Wembley. The cachets show three named Gurkha soldiers who are recipients of the Victoria Cross which is the highest military medal of honour won for bravery on the field of battle.

I do not collect covers myself  but I thought there must someone out there that does. If you are interested they are now listed as a set on eBay for less than a fiver. See pics below.
