August Slogan Postmarks and other interesting postal markings.

As in 2023, August has been a new slogan desert, so far. As expected the default British Heart Foundation slogan continues from July.  

My thanks to the anonymous reader who sent this first day cover of the King Charles III Union Flag stamp yesterday (13 August) from Nottingham Mail Centre (not an area we see often).

OTHER POSTMARKS AND POSTAL MARKINGS

All the way from Canada, reader SS has sent this use of the £2.50 airmail stamp with the Exeter MC Devon 31 JUL 2024 packet stamp.

There may well be no new slogans at all this month, so if you receive or come across any other interesting postal markings from any period or place, please send them to the email address in the top right of this blog.  Thank you.

Remember, all postmarks appearing in August will be added to this post, so check here before you spend time scanning and emailing.
