Royal Mail's second slogan postmark for 2016: Armed Forces Covenant

The Royal Mail 500 postmark seems to have lasted only a week, though it will doubtless make return appearances through the year, and definitely around 17 February when the new stamps are issued.

Several readers have reported a new slogan for the Armed Forces Covenant, with the design used on the IMP machine quite different from that used on iSLM machines.

The armed forces covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. Government is working with businesses, local authorities, charities and community organisations to support the forces through services, policy and projects.
