Appendix B - Table 1 (DRAFT)

A Detailed Listing of the 1924 British Mt. Everest Expedition

Tibet Marking (M1)

EV24-M1

 

   The "Tibet" marking from the 1924 British Mt. Everest expedition (EV24-M1) was used excessively while the expedition was in Tibet. The earliest known use (EKU) is on a cover mailed by Francis Helps to to Mrs. Little in London on June 15, 1924 from Yatung, Tibet (EV24-M1_024). Other than the "Advertising" marking in red ink (EV24-M3r) this was the most widely used marking.
