British Bechuanaland

Territory in southern Africa which was separated from Bechuanaland Protectorate (now Botswana)

by the Molopo river. British Bechuanaland became a British colony on 30 September 1885 but was added to Cape Colony on 16 November 1895. It is now the northern part of Cape Province in

South Africa.

The first stamps issued were Cape of Good Hope types with an overprint. Specific types were

issued in 1887 but subsequently there were further British and Cape types with overprints.

Cape of Good Hope stamps were introduced to British Bechuanaland in 1895 but, conversely,

British Bechuanaland types were retained for use in the neighbouring Bechuanaland Protectorate

from 1890 to 1897.

== British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia ==

British stamps overprinted with Indian currency; used in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat and Qatar.

Muscat and Dubai relied on Indian postal administration until 1 April 1948 when the British agencies were established. Two agencies were opened in Qatar: at Doha (August 1950) and Umm Said (February 1956). In Abu Dhabi, an agency was opened on Das Island in December 1960 and in Abu Dhabi City on 30 March 1963. The agencies also supplied stamps to Bahrain until 1960; and to Kuwait during shortages in 1951–1953.

The agency in Dubai issued the Trucial States stamps on 7 January 1961.

As each state took over its own postal administration, the offices closed. Closure dates were: Qatar on 31 March 1957; Dubai on 14 June 1963; Abu Dhabi on 29 March 1964; finally Muscat on 29 April 1966.
