Postman through Ages....

Here's an interesting special cover issued during Stamp Expo-2012 at Patna, Bihar - Feb 10 - 13, 2012 which shows the postman's uniform through Ages.

The cover has the image of Shershah Suri at the left hand corner, was the first emperor to start 'Mounted Post' and built 2000 miles long Grand trunk Road with 1700 shelters for Harkara as Rest House and Postal Relay Station. His memorial is shown in the background.Cancellation is of 'Mounted Post' carrying Mail bags.

Thanks: Kashinath.
