i am a war bride living in ontario, I contacted my postoffice re the stamp,
and theynfound a notice in their magazine, it is an envelope not a stamp
and had to be ordered, so they have ordered some , they have not arrived yet
but they will let me know when they do. i live in a small town so know
all the ladies in the post office. no price on them yet but I will pay what
they ask. much confusion about this though, Margaret Eaton Gananoque
Ontario. I have now been here 60 years and have just returned from a very
meaningful trip to Holland ffor the liberation ceremonies. . iit was
very moving. but our prime minister did not go, he went after it was all
over for other meetings Marg
