Individual contributors

Grateful thanks to Carmel Axiaq, Steve Farago, Roger Gilbert, Rick Green, Regis Hoffman, Harald Krieg, Ian Matheson, Taddeo Papi, David Springbett and Chris Walters for their help with information and scans for this section, also to the late Ian Gibson, who did so much to further research into East African revenues.  Special thanks to Norm Seidelman, who not only sent many scans but also proof-read the draft and made numerous corrections, additions and suggestions.  Thanks too to Richard Peck, who generously shared with me a large number of new discoveries.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to David Beech and Paul Skinner at the British Library for their help and expertise, and for allowing me access to the Library's extensive Philatelic Collections including the Crown Agents Requisition books and proof material.
