PHILLIPS, Reginald Moses CBE 1887-1977. Property developer and philanthropist. On his initiative the National Postal Museum was founded in London in 1965.

The collection, which is on permanent display, had been awarded the Grand Prix at the London International Exhibition 1960. It is profuse in all stamps of the period, and especially important in telling the story of the conception of the Penny Black, of which there is a first day cover. He also endowed a Gold Medal Award for Postage Stamp Design and in 1971 founded the Philatelic Unit at Sussex University.
