I had a terrible time in my town of Milton Ontario today trying to explain
about the envelope....finally I called the National Post Office in Nova
Scotia and ordered the envelopes from a very lovely and friendly lady, We
phoned 4 postal outlets in our surrounding area, they new nothing of the
envelope..said they receive a mat that only deplicts what is available..I
saw it.. no war bride info on it...Thank You Melinda for your info, it
helped alot....the envelopes are on their way...Diane Cobon (daughter of
deceased war bride Mrs Jean Tyson..ne Barnett from Bromley Kent England )
