Aim.   The aim of this site is to display a pictorial catalogue of First Day Covers issued by, or related to, The Corps of Royal

Engineers. It is hoped that this web-site will provide a reference centre 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.

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

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

*   RE Mixed Covers   Individual First Day Covers issued by the R.E. or by Units within the R.E.

*   Postal Courier Services   First Day Covers issued by the Postal  & Courier Services, R.E.

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

*   Links   Links to other web-sites that we find interesting.

Your Participation.  The covers shown on the web-site are not an exhaustive list and I would like to appeal for your help. If

you have a Royal Engineer First Day Cover not shown on this web-site  would you please consider sending me the details by

email and perhaps adding a clear scan of the cover.

Knowledge and Experiences.   If you have any knowledge or experiences relating to the history and the issuing of Royal

Engineer Covers I would be very grateful if you could send me an email as it would be very interesting to find out who

actually issued the different series /individual covers and why.  i.e. Royal Engineers, British Forces Postal Service, Post Office,

private organisation etc. This could be then used as background information on each web-page. All contributions no matter

how small will be greatly appreciated.

Suggestions.   I would like this web-site to be a pleasant experience for you. Please email me if you find something not

working on this site or if you have suggestions that could improve its presentation.

Linking.   If you would like to link to this site please do so by adding this web-site's url to your links page. Please DO NOT

Hot-link to any of our images as this will steal bandwidth and increase our running costs.
