The Travelling Post Offices - TPOs - generated their own branch of Postal
History because distinctive postal markings were used to cancel letters
sorted on board.
An introduction to these postmarks may be found on the TPO Introduction section of the TPO & Seapost Society website. The Society's site explores the rise of TPOs in Britain and around the world and is a source for more resources on this fascinating subject.
