Himalaya Expedition Mail

Expedition Mail of the Himalaya

NOTE: Since this is a unique cover, I have combined the Appendix B and Appendix C data on one page.

Appendix B - Table 1 (DRAFT)

A Detailed Listing of the 1924 British Mt. Everest Expedition

Combination of the Tractor Expedition Marking (M4) & the Tibet Marking (M1)

EV24-M4 & EV24-M1

This is the only cover that has been documented bearing the combination of the Tractor Expedition marking (EV24-M4) along with the Tibet marking (EV24-M1). It was typical for Major Bailey to create unique covers while he was supporting the expedition.
