MAIL AMIDST THE BATTLEFIELD
BY DANIEL M. TELEP
4-H STAMP QUICK AND EASY
BY CHARLES M. POSNER
Destruction Rules for Combatants
Fighting U.S. in Vietnam
Relics are uncommon because standing orders among
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were to destroy
covers and contents soon after delivery.
Artist offered just one design for the 1952 stamp
honoring rural America’s premier youth group.
It’s the latest in Posner’s series on stamps from
the 1950s through the 1980s.

CAMEROUN’S POSTE AUTO RURALE
BY M.P. BRATZEL JR.
To ensure material for military supplies, consumer
products were administered and divvied up through tiny
— sometimes dreaded and confusing — ration stamps.
Post offices on wheels served rural communities
Stamps and covers show how the small African nation
offered postal services to its rural population starting
in 1973. At least 13 different routes and 15 postmarks
were used through 1995.
