SUDAN.--The first stamps of the Sudan were created by overprinting
Egyptian stamps in 1897 for use at the Camp Post Office at Wadi
Haifa, and at points south thereof, the overprint reading "SOUDAN" and
repeated in Arabic characters. The first stamps of special design,
the attractive "camel" issue, also have military associations, being
designed by Colonel Stanton of the Oxford Light Infantry, depicting
a camel rider, alleged to be a portrait of Slatin Pasha. The rider is
carrying mail, and is armed with a rifle and two spears (_Fig._ 399).
These stamps were overprinted for use of army officials either with
the words "OFFICIAL-ARMY" as in _Fig._ 400, or "Army Service" as in
_Fig._ 401. Another interesting Sudanese military stamp design was
used for the military telegraph service (_Fig._ 402).

MOROCCO.--Following upon the proclamation of Egypt as a British
Protectorate, it was announced that Great Britain has recognised the
French Protectorate in Morocco and has adhered to the Franco-Moroccan
Treaty of March 30, 1912. The French stamps for Morocco (_Fig._ 403)
have now been overprinted "PROTECTORAT-FRANCAIS", as may be seen by
comparing this 10 centimes value with the same denomination utilised
for Red Cross stamp purposes (_Fig._ 153). The change in the status of
Morocco may render the British postal agencies there unnecessary, in
which case the series of British stamps overprinted "MOROCCO AGENCIES"
(_Figs._ 404, 405) may be rendered obsolete.

POSTCARDS AND POSTMARKS. The remaining illustrations, added as this
work is being sent to press, supplement the philatelic records of the
present war, as already outlined in the earlier chapters. _Fig._ 406
is the original issue of the French military postcard, on thin green
card. _Fig._ 407 is also French, printed on a thicker Silurian card.
_Fig._ 408 is a German field postcard (medium white) despatched by
a British prisoner of war in the English Lager at Sennelager. A few
additional naval postmarks are also shown (_Figs._ 409-413). _Fig._
409 appears to be in the design of an "Iron Cross" (!) _Fig._ 414 is
a mark used by the censor in handling registered mail, and 415 is on
correspondence originating at a depot for convalescent horses. _Figs._
416-420 are various types of censor marks, No. 419 being a Dutch one
