The Dodd Collection 1989 - Crimean War.

Hello. Can anyone help me locate this article or presentation? See attachment below.

I think it is about 100 pages or so I've been told. It's a collection of articles and research on Crimean War postal history.

I hope someone on this site has heard of it or can point me to where I might find a copy. I searched the RPSL library and couldn't find anything there or on the Internet.

Any suggestions welcome.

Best Regards.

Adrian Pearson.

Good morning Adrian,
I have been unable to find the article that you are specifically looking for, but came across this article by the Royal society journal of the history of science, you may already have this in your repertoire but if not, additional information always comes in handy !

Hoping you find this of interest. WM

Hello 'Wilding Mad'.

Thank you very much for this. I don't think that I've seen it though the technological impact of the Crimean War is something that I am interested in. There were incredible technological advances, both good and bad depending on your view of the necessity of warfare and the military postal service is just part of that.

Best Regards.

Adrian.

Adrian,
The only book that I can find regarding the author George Dodd and the Crimean war can be found for sale on this Amazon site which contains 626 pages. >

Other than that Adrian I am at a loss.
Keep searching, WM.

Adrian,

Mike Batty, who is an expert on 1d stamps on mail from the Crimea, may be a good bet to ask. He is registered here https://www.gbps.org.uk/boards/memberli ... ile&u=2125

Hello Winston. Nice to hear from you again and it's a good suggestion. I'm afraid Mike isn't familiar with it either though I have had a discovery in the archives of the RPSL.

So I'm going to enquire at Cavendish if they aren't too busy.

Thanks.
