A book on : IRAQ POSTAL HISTORY 1920s to 1940s

2010-03-30T20:18:00.000+01:00

IRAQ POSTAL HISTORY 1920s to 1940s

Airlines, Air Routes, Internal and External Postage Rates, Airmail Fees, charges for various other postal services, censorship and postally relevant historical matters

by DOUGLAS ARMITAGE and ROBERT JOHNSON

Full details of this new book, with detailed a Contents list, are in this Pdf file.

An order form and full details of postage & packing charges are included.

The main purpose of this book is to make sense of the airmail fees charged on airmail sent from Iraq to all other countries of the world in the period 1933 to 1946. Extensive tables are set out on 178 pages of this 328 page book. The problem that the authors identified was a total lack of information about many of the air fees and changes to them especially in the period of the Second World War. The availability of original postal information in the English version of the many successive issues of the Iraqi Government Gazette was the clue. Iraq was a country like Italy which continued to charge air fees in addition to surface postage long after countries such as the United Kingdom converted to combined air and surface rates. It became apparent at an early stage of writing the tables that all the other postal rates and fees, internal and external would have to be included in order that calculations of postage rates seen on covers could be accomplished. It was also evident that to put these air fees and postal rates and fees into context a reader would need narratives which described the involvement of various airlines in providing air services to and from Iraq as air routes to the Far East, Africa, the Americas and Australia and New Zealand were developed. Inevitably references to the position in the 1920’s became essential and much detail of the 1920’s is in fact included both in the narrative and in the supporting tables. The best way to indicate the comprehensive coverage of this book is to look through the Contents pages of the book which are reproduced after the pricing information.

Anyway its so nice found.

The Stamps of British Occupation of Mosul I.E.F.D.

2008-04-20T21:53:00.002+01:00

Iraq: under the Ottomans was divided into the Vilayets of Mosul, Baghdad and Basra and the Sanjaq of Zor in the North West desert area.Towards the end of this period the first postal arrangements were organized through the Tartar courier service which included routes from Basra to Aleppo across the Syrian desert and from Baghdad to Constantinople via Mosul and Diarbekr. In 1773 a British residency was set up in Baghdad and in 1868 postal agencies established in the residencies in Baghdad and Basra. Turkey joined the UPU in 1875 from which date it used bilingual obliterators with the date using the Turkish official and Gregorian calendars. In 1914 Turkey joined the Central Powers – Germany and Austria Hungary – and this caused the British to send the Indian Expeditionary Force " D " to Basra with the aim of safeguarding the oilfields at Abadan and Mohammerah and of preventing the Central Powers from having access to the Gulf and so endanger the route between the United Kingdom and India. The I.E.F. " D " : the campaign in Mesopotamia which was originally planned as a limited operation to prevent Basra and its access to the Gulf from falling into the Central Powers hands, ended with nearly one million combatants and support personnel in the field. The campaign can be split into four distinct stages: 6 November 1914 – July 1915: The initial landing by the IEF " D " at Fao and capture of Basra in November 1914 and the limited actions in Southern Mesopotamia. November 1915 – 29 April 1916: The first advance on Baghdad battle of Ctesiphon where the Turkish forces were victorious, retreat to, siege and capitulation of the IEF forces at Kut. Autumn 1916 – April 1917: The second battle of Kut leading to its recapture, advance on Baghdad in December and its capture by the IEF on 11 March 1917. July 1917 – 3 November 1918: Campaign in Upper Mesopotamia and final capitulation of the Turkish VI Army, and the occupation of Mosul following the Armistice. Little action took place during the summer months due to the heat. Indian Field Post Offices were provided to support the Indian and British regiments. No British FPO's served in Mesopotamia during the campaign. A Base P.O and five FPO's accompanied the initial forces in 1914, and four more had arrived by the year end. As the number of troops increased, so did the FPO's reaching 40 by April 1916, 60 by the date of the capture of Baghdad and 91 by the Armistice. On the Central Powers side, the Turkish VI Army had its own FPO's which are scarce. Germany also provided high level military and airforce support through the AOK6 with their own FPO's. With the outcome of the War, the Vilayets of Basra and Baghdad were administered by the British and the position of the Mosul Vilayet was left in balance with both the British and French claiming responsibility. This was resolved in 1920 by the Sykes-Picot agreement under which the French claim was waived in favour of England. The Turks attempted to maintain control over Mosul and abetted the Kurdish insurrections of 1919 and 1922 and in 1921 the province of Sulaimaniya rejected union with the new state while the provinces of Erbil and Rawandooz voted against Feisal as King. Under the treaty of Lausanne in 1923, Iraq was put under the British Mandate although even then the position of Mosul was left unresolved and it was not until 1926 that the border question was resolved. During the British occupation of Mosul Vilayet Indian currency had been used, first by personnel of the IEF, and from 1918 it was the national currency & later in 1932 after the end of Mandate it was changed to fils and dinars. From Ottoman unused stocks of fiscal stamps , six stamps in different face values were overprinted Postage I.E.F. 'D' by the Government Press in Baghdad with new values 1/2 anna, 1 anna, 21/2 anna, 3 annas, 4 annas and 8 annas. Their issue was advised in Postal notice in the 1st of February 1919. A second printing of the 8 annas was made in July 1919. The IEF 'D' postage stamps remained in use in the Division until 1921 when they were replaced by the Iraq in British Occupation stamps as stocks were exhausted. On and after 1 September 1922 I.E.F. stamps were invalidated in Mosul town and division. Several errors and varieties occurred on the I.E.F. 'D' stamps & registered in Stanley Gibbons and other International stamps catalogues.

1921 Kurdistan Local Stamps

2008-04-06T19:33:00.003+01:00

On two occasions during the early post war years Sheikh Mehmud declared himself King of ( South) Kurdistan. The revolts were rapidly put down though Mehmud remained a thron in the U.K. security service until the 1930's. One of the actions of the King was to issue a short series for four South Kurdistan stamps. These comprised 1 anna, 8 annas, 1 rupee and 5 rupees. Also 4 historic stamps on occasion of Victims of Black September ( "Ay-lool Al Aswad") was issued ,comprised 2 anna, 4 annas, 1 rupee and 4 rupees for Revenue use, . These stamps were issued for dual use as postage or revenue (Fiscal) & shown overprinted with arabic " Malleiyyah = Revenue, for that purpose ) & inspite of Announcing this part as national Kurdish Gov, the written words were in Arabic. In order to appreciate these stamps of Kurdistan it is necessary to understand a little of Sheikh Mehmud's history: By 1923, the RAF was back in Kurdistan and Turkey fighting a breakaway rebellion by Sheik Mamoud, the self proclaimed King of Kurdistan with Turkish backing. A column of 5,000 mounted British troops was sent into Kurdistan, Later After six weeks on horseback, and the burning of a number of rebel towns the British withdrew, not really accomplishing anything. (*) On 9 October 1956 Sheikh Mehmud Berzenchi, the "King of Kurdistan", died. He had given himself this title in 1922. The Kurdish region was part of Iraq, which had been a British protectorate since 1920. Iraq was a troubled land, the British faced revolt in the Kurdish north and the Shiite south. London decided to allow the influential Sheikh Mehmud to return (he had been exiled in the First World War to India). After he was appointed governor in Suleymaniya, he took advantage of this opportunity. He declared a Kurdish state with its capital Suleymaniya, and set himself up as king. It was not long before the British once again expelled him.

A story for the design of 3 Iraqi stamps 1923

2008-04-06T11:54:00.003+01:00

The Design of three Iraqi stamps ( their face values 4 annas , 8 annas and 5 rupees ) which were issued in year 1923, depicts the Standard bearer of the Dulaim camel corps ( or known as the Desert Police )and faithfully reproduces a painting done in the desert near Ramadi. The corps was a Mobile Police Force, mounted on specially picked fleet camels, and was eminently suitable for desert warfare. It was kept at instant readiness and fully equipped to enable it to operate and maintain itself even in spots far removed from sources of supply. The standard was of bright green silk, on which was inscribed a passage from the Holy Koran in gold thread, while the knob and pendants were silver. The pattern in the frame represents the " agal" – the short rope by which camels are hobbled. in 1923 These stamps designed on paintings of Miss Cheesman (the sister of Cheesman ( explorer Maj. R.E.,who was then in official service in Iraq as Private Secretary of Sir Percy Sykes, High Commissioner in Iraq ).

A Survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Iraq.

2008-03-27T20:26:00.008Z
The earliest postal service known in the area of present-day Iraq was operated by Assyria; archeologists have found a large number of commercial letters written in cuneiform on clay tablets, and enclosed in addressed clay envelopes. The Ottoman Empire had post offices at Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, and Kirkuk around 1863. India operated post offices in Baghdad and Basra from 1868 to 1914Events January 4 77 seal hunters freeze to death on ice near Labrador January 5 Ford Motor Company announces an eight-hour workday and a minimum wage of $5 for a day's labor February 13 Copyright: In New York City the ASCAP (for American Society of Compos. During World War IWorld War I (also known as the First World War , the Great War the War of the Nations and the "War to End All Wars") was a world conflict occurring from 1914 to 1918. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers, or involved so many in the field of, British and Indian troops fought their way from Basra to Mosul; they used stamps of India overprint An overprint is the addition of text (and sometimes graphics) to the face of a postage stamp after it has been printed. Overprints have been used for many purposes over the years. They have been used as surcharges, commemorations, and control marks. A sured "I.E.F." on their military mail . The British overprinted a variety of Turkish stamps during the occupation, a grouping now conventionally called the issues of "Mesopotamia"; for details, see postage stamps and postal history of Mesopotamia .

See Dido and Anna Perenna with whom Ovid identitfied her in one account. Anna Perenna, the Roman goddess Queen Anne I of the United Kingdom, sos and rupees, inscribed with "IRAQ" and "POSTAGE & REVENUE". The first stamp depicting Faisal I of Iraq was a 1-rupee value in 1927, followed in 1931 by a series of 13 values. Independence in 1932 brought a new currency ( fils and dinar), and the existing Faisal stamps were surcharged accordingly, and issued on 1 April 1932. These were followed soon after ( 9 May) by stamps of the previous design denominated in the new currency. The accession of King Ghazi necesitated new stamps, which appeared in 1934; they were of the same design as the Faisal stamps, but with a profile of Ghazi in the vignette. Due to Ghazi's unexpected death and the infancy of his son, in 1941 a new series was issued featuring local scenery. Along with additional values and color changes issued the next year, the series totals 23 stamps. 1942 also saw the first stamps depicting Faisal II, who was still a young boy. He appears as a teenager in the next series, which was issued in 1948. Iraq's first commemorative stamps came out in 1949 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union. Faisal's 1953 coronation was also marked by a set of three, along with a souvenir sheet . The last of the Faisal definitives had only partly appeared before the revolution of 1958, and both issued and unissued types were overprinted. General Qassim's period was noted by the usual round of commemoratives, many featuring him as benevolent leader. Later presidents also appeared, though less frequently. Saddam Hussein, as vice-president, makes a first appearance in a souvenir sheet of 1976, and by the mid- 1980s appeared on a great many Iraqi stamps. The Iraq invasion of 2003 brought the stamp program to a sudden halt, the last Saddam-era issue being a Saddam University stamp on 5 February 2003. Two additional issues were planned, themed "Old Methods of Transportation" and "Popular Industries", and proofs had been made. The printing works were destroyed in the looting, but not the Post Office building, and the proofs survived. The Coalition Provisional Authority subsequently approved the printing of the Transportation stamps, and they were issued 29 January 2004. In the meantime, overprints appeared on various stamps, but none were officially authorized.
