WW II Slogan Cancels - Janet MacD - 05-08-2025
The British Postmark Society had a sale for members in July. I got lots of goodies, but shopping was difficult. There were no photos of the items, just a spreadsheet, identifying covers, postcards and real photo postcards with a code. All of the descriptions centred on the postmark in loving detail - almost as if these people don’t care about the picture side of the card!
These two items have slogans to engage the families at home. The first is on a white mailing label affixed to a brown envelope:
SAVE WASTE / PAPER METALS / BONES RAGS
The second slogan appears on a postcard portraying the National Museum of Cardiff. And yes, I would not have been interested in the card if I only saw the picture side, so maybe some of that British “slogan appreciation” is rubbing off on me!
