World War One - Gold Coast Used in Togo. 1914 (Sep 14) Picture postcard of Atakpane addressed to London, the message headed "Togoland Field Force, Atakpane, Togoland", written ten days before Togo stamps were issued franked by Gold Coast 1d, cancelled a week later at Lome. British forces invaded Togo on August 8th, the Germans surrendering on the 26th with Togo Anglo-French Occupation stamps issued on Sept. 24th. Gold Coast stamps were therefore authorised for use for 46 days (Aug 8 - Sep 23) but were often accepted after this date. A very scarce card from the Togoland Field Force in this short Gold Coast stamp period.
