Just found this one a day late, but really wanted to show it because of the nice cancel. The big TARDE could mean either afternoon or late. I'm guessing it means afternoon, so they would have to change the wording every 6 hours. EDIT: OK, more likely 12 hours, since the cancel already says 7. Funny how these observations sometimes don't register until after a few hours have elapsed. March April 3, 1939 from São Paulo, Brazil

March 31st, 1966 from Singapore. Maybe from district no. 1. Singapore had 28 postal districts at that time. Now they have 5-digit numbers. The fish is shooting water droplets at the dragonfly and goes by the name Jaculator, (known in English as archerfish)

March 30, 1916 from Breda maybe? Stamp(Michel 51) was in use for 20 plus years with no varieties showing in My Scott or Michel catalogs. EDIT: Confirmed Breda by comparing with another stamp

I also don't collect GB but do collect Netherlands. I mostly go through lots of common stamps and enjoy inspecting and looking for variations with all of them.

March 25, 1914 from Agioi Saranta in Epirus (now Albania). I'm guessing the cancel represented the The present-day town of Saranda (from Greek: Άγιοι Σαράντα, translit. Agioi Saranda). According to Wiki: The very short-lived Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus (Michel calls it Autonomous Epirus)was founded in the aftermath of the Balkan Wars on February 28, 1914 by Greeks living in southern Albania. Stamp: Scott no 7, Michel no 1 was issued on March 5, 1914 according to Michel(however another source says February).

Exactly 100 years ago, March 15, 1918(maybe 1919), if I'm reading it correctly. This one is a puzzle. I couldn't find any mention on the internet of S.PEDRODOCRAT or variations such as Sao Pedro Docrat in the province of Ceara. EDIT: I've been digging some more and finally came up with a likely town -- Caririaçu! Quoting from Wikipedia: "In August 1876 , the village of Serra de São Pedro was renamed São Pedro do Crato (alluding to the mother city ), São Pedro do Cariri , and since 1943 , Caririassú and finally Caririaçu"
