BRISTOL DD 453 Covers Page 2
Return to USS Bristol DD-453 Main Page
Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.
NOTE: The commissioning cancel B-57 has been seen in mirror image form. The Mail Clerk was a collector and created many backdated covers during 1942-43 with apparent historic dates. Sunk by torpedo in Mediterranean.
This collection was received by Steve Shay, Secretary USCS, from a family member of Chief Lance.
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the
classification types for all postmarks based on the Locy System.
