Cayman Islands to St Helena, c. 1963

Jeremy Martin FRPSL

At the Society of Postal Historians Conference at Buxton in May 2011, a member showed this cover,
Figure 1, in a display of Cayman Islands.

It was sent from Georgetown, franked with two 1/9d values of the 1963 Red Cross stamps, and addressed to
George Moss, Rosemary Field, Island of St Helena, South Atlantic. The date of the c.d.s. is unclear, but was
presumably sent during 1963.

Attached is a type-written label PAID AIR MAIL LETTERS / FROM GRAND CAYMAN W.I. / FOR
with, in manuscript, 1/32 to (?) St Helena

The display included a similar label, slightly different format, on a cover to Hong Kong, Figure 2.

Richard Pepys—a pioneer in Sierra Leone

James Armstrong

The following article appears very belatedly in tribute to the late Jack Ince, who noticed the references to
the early history of Sierra Leone in a longer article about Richard Pepys that appeared in the Honourable
Artillery Company Journal, Autumn 2006, pp136-138. The following abridgement was helpfully written for
Cameo by Mr Armstrong in his role as Archivist of the HAC in January 2007. It has sat in the pending file
for Cameo for far too long, for which I apologise.
