rest the notion that a Lado cover is always identified by Congo stamps
with a manuscript Lado cancellation and the Khartoum Retta. He examines
the 15 types of Lado covers, including the majority of Lado covers
which bear Sudan stamps and were carried on Khartoum steamers. Sections
include the postal history of the Lado Enclave: via the Congo, via
Uganda, via the Nile
with Congo stamps, via the Nile with Sudan stamps, Mixed frankings from
the
Uele District, via the Nile to the Enclave. Every aspect
of the postal history is dealt with. There are many illustrations of
