I have been taking an interest in our local postal infrastructure because of Graham (Exploring Stamps) Beck’s new PixPost app. A few days ago the quest led me to the post office on CFB Kingston. I was delighted to find it was more than a retail post office - it was also the distribution point for Military Post Office 305 Vimy. An MPO, a postmaster in camo and great cancels - well worth the time invested in the ferry line!

That cancel is much better than mine! I have been a little disappointed with the quality of some of the in-person cancels I have collected this summer.
