1986 (11) Christmas - Forces Postal & Courier Services 'Battle Of The Somme' Alternative Official

Scarce Forces Postal & Courier Services 'Battle Of The Somme' Alternative Official.

The 'recognised' RAF(JSF)3 Official for this H/S has a Miniature Sheet with images of the Somme on it the full set of the Christmas stamps... and all covers for that Official were cancelled at the BFPS Postal HQ at Mill Hill with that H/S.........

But unknown to most (me included) a small number of full set Postal & Courier covers were ALSO cancelled (at Mill Hill) with the same H/S - and whilst it's not the 'recognised' Official, it still fits into the qualifying rules to make it an 'Alternative' one !

The 'recognised' Official for this is Cat £200, so my asking price for this 'Alternative' one is quite reasonable I think !
