RHODESIAN SECURITY FORCES

Rhodesia Post Office

These are the Rhodesia Post Office badges that I currently have in my collection. While not normally consided a security force.. it was a uniformed service and as the only entity that reached every address in the country six days a week, the Rhodesian Post Office was in a unique position to deliver health and emergency materials and communications to the Rhodesian public quickly and efficiently. The RPO had in place the sorting facilities, retail postal facilities, vehicles and planned routes to easily reach every Rhodesian in a matter of days. It played a critical, though often overlooked, part in the national security of Rhodesia.

If anyone has any other items related to the RPO (Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, Rhodesia or Zimbabwe) they would like to sell please let me know.
