Palestine stamps used by Australian Post

In 1940, more than forty thousand Australian soldiers were concentrated in the Land of Israel, as part of the preparations of the British army to defend the Suez Canal. Along with the soldiers, the Australians operated an array of Australian military mail which was designed to serve their soldiers. During the organizing phase, the Australian Military Post was assisted by the Mandatory Postal Services of Palestine. An envelope preserved in the Alexander collection testifies to the short period of time in which the Australians used Palestine stamps.
