BRITISH COMMONWEALTH LONG ISLAND 1916 (25 Jan) "On His Majesty's
Service" envelope addressed to the Government Secretary at "H.M.S.
Europa", at Mudros (Lt. Commander Lucach, later Sir Harry Luke),
franked with seven stamps including 1/2d, 1d, 2 1/2d (two different
colors), 4 1/2d, 6d and 1sh, canceled "Afon" 25.1.1916, fine and
scarce (contemplated issue for the Holy Community situated on Mount
Athos. In the winter of 1915-16, the Allies considered the
occupation of the Holy Mountain and in anticipation, prepared a set
of six stamps intended for issue on the 25th January, for use by
the governing body of the Monastic Republic. They were designed by
Lt.Cmdr Luke and printed in imperf. sheets of 12, by a photographic
process (similar to that used in Mafeking during the Boer War)
aboard the H.M.Aircraft Carrier "Ark Royal". The 1948 edition of
the Robson Lowe Encyclopedia raises two points of interest with
these stamps. They bore currencies of three different languages and
alphabets (English, Cyrillic and Greek) and were produced during
war on a naval vessel)
