Channel Islands

The Channel Islands are part of Great Britain, located in the English Channel. They were part of the British postal system from the earliest times.
 * In 1940 to 1945, the islands were occupied by German forces. See the individual major islands below for details.
 * In 1948, a commemorative set of two stamps was issued for the third anniversary of liberation. These were also available from a few select post offices in Great Britain and were valid throughout Great Britain.


 * Beginning in 1958, regional stamps were issued for Guernsey and Jersey. See the individual major islands below for details.
 * Both Guernsey and Jersey became postally independent in 1969, issuing their own stamps.
