...Screen shot of MS Notebook
(If I paste text from MS Notebook, it appears in TSF as double spaced lines  )... Switch to the BBCode tab, paste the copied text, and the extra lines should be eliminated. |

rod222 shows type 19 . Here are two earlier issues (I don't Know the type Number) representing a " Crusade" to Victory from the 1940s WW2 savings campaign  The stamps were purchase at the Post Office, pasted in a printed card folder and when the accumulated sum reached £1 (40 x6d stamps or 8x2/6) it could be exchanged for a Savings bond earning interest ![]()

The savings stamps were part of a national campaign for fundraising for the war effort as seen on the " re-use of your old envelopes" label of the NATIONAL SAVINGS CAMPAIGN as part of the economy saving precious paper . The cachet shows the same flaming cross supplemented with a Union flag  |

Similar savings programmes were launched for WWI . The design of the label Innocently displayed an Indian Luck and good fortune symbol......... ................before it was adopted elsewhere and gained sinister notoriety !   |

NOTE: Swastika also traceable to North American Totem Poles And it's a symbol important in Japanese Buddhism as well (both left- and right-facing) - here's an image nabbed from the website for the Zenkoji Temple in Nagano (Nagano was a home away from home for me on my past trips to Japan).  Ryan |
