Stamp Magazine  |  Apr-18
"In the April issue we look back 50 years before the heroism of World War I to find the less well-known origins of the Post Office Rifles, in the 1860s. We also investigate what life was like in the Falkland Islands before they became famous, by scrutinising its postal history from the years immediately preceding the Argentinian invasion in 1982. To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, we present a thematic guide to the patron saint of Ireland, finding echoes of his life and times in the stamps of Ireland and Great Britain. Our Commonwealth Classics slot features the 1933 pictorial issue of Transjordan, while our Great Engravers series considers the underrated work of Jan Arts for the Netherlands. And a brand new series on postal history kicks off with a fascinating eyewitness account of Queen Victoria in mourning for Prince Albert. Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s RAF Centenary set, as well as highlighting interesting new issues from around the world.
