Grateful thanks to Norm Seidelman, who provided many of the illustrations in this section as well as additional information and help, and to Steve Jarvis and Michael Medlicott of the British West Indies Study Circle for their advice and expertise.  Thanks also to Graeme Bucknell for providing scans of the modern British Virgin Islands revenues and for alerting me to a number of other recent issues from various territories.

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.

When reproducing images of stamps not in my own collection, I have sought the permission of the current owner whenever possible, though in some cases the current owner is not known to me.  If I have inadvertently broken any rules of copyright, please help me to comply by bringing this to my attention.
