Hello Mr Quah,
I am an old Free from 1990. I am first day cover collector and am trying to find out more about the first day covers issued in 1966.
Do you have any information pertaining to... was there a postal station set up in the school? How were the covers sent out. Other than the official covers and the covers issued by PFS, what else were there?
I write on covers and if you have the information, I will be very happy to call you.
