Sunday Stamps - Another Dog

 I'm known as the man who talks to all the dogs I meet and I sometimes carry treats for them when i go on my daily walk.

When in my wife's car she often asks me, "Who is that?" Often my reply is "I don't know, but the dog's name is ...

So it seems natural when we have a 'Your Choice' theme on Sunday Stamps to show yet another dog.

Sunday Stamps - Bridges - Bohemia & Moravia, New Hebrides

I had to look hard for bridge stamps that I hadn't shown before. 

With a bit of luck I found this from the New Hebrides,

New Hebrides - 15 August 1986

 I then had to find where the New Hebrides were, especially as the stamp carries the EIIR designation. It now is the independent country of Vanuatu.

The Lainsitz Bridge is located in Czechoslovakia - the stamp depicting it is from 1940.

Bohemia & Moravia - 20 November 1940
