Jamaica "Used Abroad"

Jamaican stamps can sometimes be found with English, Colonial or Foreign postmarks on them. The
English markings were usually applied for one of the following reasons: Owing to the Jamaica postmark
having been omitted in error or else being too faint to be legible, on letters re-directed upon arrival in
England and on "late" letters posted direct onboard the mailboats, after the post had closed in Kingston.
