Barrel of Brandy

 Nelson's body was stored in a barrel of brandy for the trip home from his victorious battle as depicted on this 38 pence Gibraltar 200th anniversary stamp.

Stars and stripes!!

 Cheap cheap. Why can't they make a nice simple folding booklet instead of this small twenty stamp sheet?

 I sometimes wonder how well Justice,Equality,Freedom and Liberty actually can coexist?  Well anyways, Happy 4th to everyone in the states. Midsummer's holiday.

$10 Stamps

"Hardy" "They have done for me at last."  Nelson spoke after getting shot. Well he learned of his decisive victory before he passed.

 This is a sheet of $10 stamps from the Solomon Islands.

Battle Stations!

A sheet of $1.90's from the Trafalgar series issued by the Solomon Islands. The selvage displays the image from the lower middle stamp in the set.

Coast Guard

 This is the 4th of a set of 5 honoring the Armed Forces. Perhaps I should have posted them in the order they were released. Oh well, I have a them under FDC and cover(a bit redundant I know)  for anyone wanting to see all 5 of the set.
