Waterberg?

This stamp has a post mark Waterberg

Wasn't Waterberg in German South West Africa?

OK there are two Waterbergs. But I hope you like the stamp anyway. Leutha (talk) 09:22, 26 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, thanks. I haven't been able to clarify Tamsen's loyalties. He was friendly with Paul Kruger and other Boers but seems to have been a soldier for the British at one point and to have been a member of the Royal Philatelic Society in London whose principal members included George V and Edward VII.

....but what an odd and unenlightening choice of a DYK, given that this man bought the contents of the dead letter office!

We may have overlooked the potential fascination of the dead letter office. If you expand the article five times you can do a new DYK... Philafrenzy (talk) 00:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
