Canada Post releases stamp commemorating The Black Watch (RHR) of Canada

[Dale-of-Cedars]

Released in 2012, "The Regiments" - showing evolution of the uniforms,

with stamps for The Black Watch and two other regiments, The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry and The Royal Regiment of Canada; all three founded 1861-1862 (even before Canadian confederation in 1867.)

Will you send me one

Several ways to purchase them, from "first day cover" to booklets and sheets. Haven't looked at postage for the postage ;o) but I suspect they will ship outwith CAN.

That's a handsome stamp! Shall have to consider who might appreciate something related to it come Christmas-time. . .

What brought this to mind, my better half discarded a postcard-reminder from our dentist, which I picked out of the trash when I saw the stamp.



If you really want a cancelled (not on the picture thankfully) gently used stamp, then PM me if you wouldn't mind paying for the envelope and international postage - it would be about $3.00 CDN.

Or do as sydnie7 suggests and order one for $1.30 CDN + shipping, or set of 10 in a commemorative sleeve from Canada Post for $6.30 CDN + shipping.

It seems there is tartan involved too, though I can't see it in the pictures:
"Colour, through the use of fabric, was added to the stamp booklets to distinguish the respective regiments—the unique tartan of the Black Watch; the scarlet red that is synonymous with The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry and the CADPAT digital camouflage pattern for The Royal Regiment of Canada. The crests for each of these regiments is also unique and helped to distinguish each within the booklets, especially on the souvenir sheet where they sit side by side."

Quite handsome stamps. It would be nice if they did all the older regiments and the RCAF and RCN as well.
