1969 SCOUTS GILWELL PARK LONDON 50TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE COVER
Description

Event covers, instead of marking the issuance of a stamp, commemorate events both big (say, the naming of a locomotive) and small (say, the opening of a supermarket). A design on the left side of the envelope (a "cachet") explains the event or anniversary being celebrated. Ideally the stamp or stamps affixed relate to the event. Cancels are obtained either from the location (e.g., National Railway Museum, Battle of Sedgmoor)
