Request for Help from the Author
I would like to establish contact with fellow collectors of Japanese Military Mail in Korea, 1896 – 1910. It is almost impossible to find anything written about this period, and I am making sweeping statements, not being 100% sure that I am correct. Should anyone wish to exchange or sell covers of this period, I would be pleased to establish contact. I have a large stock of spare material of this period. Contact me, Ken Clark, through the KSS.
