Welcome

Aim. The aim of this site is to display First Day Covers issued by, or related to, The Corps of Royal Engineers. It is hoped

that this web-site will provide an online resource for people wanting information on Royal Engineers First Day Covers. The

term "First Day Covers" is used as a convenience to encompass First Day Covers, First Day Issues and Commemorative

Covers.

Organisation of the Web Pages.

* Series No A set of numbered covers issued by the R.E. to mark important moments in the corps

history.

* Special Covers A set of covers issued by the R.E to commemorate special occasions as they

happened.

* Related Covers First Day Covers issued by others outside of the R.E but do have some

* Swaps/wanted Covers that I would like add to the collection and those that I would like to swap.
