From Jarrett - Standard British North American Catalogue - 1929:
over-printed in black, blue or red, vertically or diagonally, and accompanied by the Coat of Arms (in the case of stationery). These were discredited by the P.O. Department in 1885.
They were done by Henry Hechler (deceased January 1928) in Halifax, at the time of the Indian outbreak in the Canadian North-West in 1884-85
His explanation was that the mail matter addressed to members of the militia of various provinces required some means of distinguishing it from ordinary mail matter
in view of the prompt measures being taken to call men to the service. Although unofficial, the over-printing did not impair the postal value of the stamps and envelopes and
they were permitted to pass through the mails. The LARGE 12½c and 15c stamps have also been noted with the OFFICIAL overprint."
