8 March 1934 After a weekend stopover in Pietermaritzburg, HRH Prince George re-boarded the Royal Train on March 5, 1934, for Durban, where the Royal party transferred to the Royal Hotel (naturally!) for a 3-night stopover; departing on March 8 (the date on this registered philatelic cover) for Ladysmith. In the official program for his March 5-8 visit to Durban, the following poem was published...
And, from a second March 8 philatelic cover in my collection featuring a 1920 Union of South Africa KGV 1½d orange-brown tête-bêche pair...

9 March 1966 "Prevent Bush Fires" is good advice in the Australian summer, which is when these slogans are shown. Generally shown for a week every January, February, March (such as this example), and any other month where its use was warranted based on the postmaster's discretion (dependent on prevailing weather conditions and fire risk). Previously rejected, the slogan was approved for use in 1932 after a change in policy towards the type of slogans the Postmaster-General's Department could approve. Until 1932, slogans had been confined to messages of government or departmental concern only.

10 March 1954 Following my contributions to this thread of postmarks from the 1934 Royal Tour of Southern Africa, here's another Royal Tour related postmark, exactly 20 years later! In 1954, Queen Elizabeth II was the first, and to date, the only reigning British monarch to visit Australia. She, and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, arrived on February 3, and visited 57 towns and cities in the 58 days they spent in Australia. This slogan was used at G.P.O.s in all states, and at the P.O.s at Canberra, Launceston and Newcastle; introduced 3 February 1954 and withdrawn by end of March.

11 March 1964 Presumably used to enclose a letter, attached to a parcel, this high franking cover was sent to Nancy Coe (plus one other) at the Coe family home in Strawberry Hill, an affluent area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in Twickenham. The 4/- Tasman had been issued in October 1963, the £1 Bass in February 1964. They are tied with Mont Albert circular date stamps for March 11, 1964. Mont Albert is an inner eastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 12 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD.

13 March 1933 Alwar Registered circular date stamps for March 13, 1933, mark this airmail cover, inscribed "by Delhi - Karachi air", from Alwar stamp dealers Ram Gopal & Co., to the philatelist B. Gordon Jones of 8 Parkside, Church End Finchley, London (received March 21). Total 13½A postage pays: 1. 2½A surface postage levy on airmail for first 1 oz. (1 Dec 1931 - 27 Nov 1934; after which there was a unified surface-airmail rate). 2. 8A airmail fee per ½ oz (30 Dec 1929 - 7 Jul 1933) 3. 3A reg fee for foreign mail (1 Sep 1921 - 31 Mar 1948) The addressee, Bertram (Bert / Bertie) Gordon Jones, was born March 15, 1872, in Serampore, Bengal, India, to Francis Weston Jones & his second wife, Harriett Sophia. As a young man he established in 1891 a stamp dealing business in Calcutta, and introduced stamp auctions to India in 1894. In February 1894, he helped co-found the Philatelic Society of Bengal, and from July 1894 to March 1897, published it's official monthly journal, Philatelic World, until the emergence of The Philatelic Journal of India, the official organ of the new Philatelic Society of India, which he edited from April 1907 to June 1908. He also co-authored several publications, published by the Philatelic Society of India. After a brief spell in the UK, Jones returned to India to establish The Calcutta Philatelic Co., and the journal Stamps (1897-1906). By 1911, Jones had returned permanently to the UK. The 1911 census shows him living in Islington with his 26-year old wife Evelyn Kate (née Arnold), whom he married in 1905 in London. This was his 2nd marriage. His first wife, Ethel St. Clair, (b. 1873), died in Calcutta in 1903. Jones had one son by Ethel, 2Lt. Eric Gordon Jones (b. 16 Sep 1897, Calcutta), of the 2nd Bn. Middlesex Regiment, who died of wounds in WWI on 1 Aug 1917, by which time he was living at 23 Rosemont Avenue, North Finchley, London. By his second wife, Jones had two children, Arnold (b. 27 Aug 1906, Simla, India), and Irene (b. 1909, London, UK). By 1930, Jones had moved approximately 1 mile from his old address to 8 Parkside, Church End Finchley, where he died in 1957.

14 March 1960 For some context to this World Refugee Year slogan cancel, here is some background from the National Archives of Australia... In addition to the Australia's contribution as described above, the postal authority authorized the use of a World Refugee Year 1959-60 slogan cancel, as seen on this cover dated March 14, 1960. The slogan was used at all GPOs, as well as POs in Canberra, Launceston and Newcastle (as shown here). It was shown intermittently from early February to mid-June, 1960.

We don't get many stamps from Sri Lanka on this thread, so I'll do my part with Kaluwella, 38 years ago today. I am determined to bring you a mildly interesting infotidbit with every postmark. But most of the Duck Duck Go listings for Kaluwella itself are for real estate, weather, or maps. Tons of maps. And there is this. I don't really know what to make of it. But as it turns out, Kaluwella is either a part of or a relatively obscure suburb of Galle, a city on a peninsula in the southwest corner of Sri Lanka, and Galle does look like a fascinating place. It apparently was a Dutch port at one time and it shows in a number of place-names and a Dutch Reformed graveyard, but there's a Muslim presence too, and if checking out the Nautical Archaeology museum or simply strolling around a UNESCO World Heritage city and looking at fortresses, mosques, stately homes, churches that look like they should still be in Europe, the Sri Sudarma Temple, or the Ocean Bistro by Starbeans appeals to you, start packing. I found a hotel that starts at $25.

A postcard from the Mayflower Hotel, Los Angeles from 14 March, 1957. us-los.angeles-1957.03.14 by Mick Taylor, on Flickr LOS ANGELES / MAR 14 / ? PM / 10 / CALIF. Postcard is in Danish, I think. The Pacific Coast Architectural Database notes that, "Danish-born artist Einar Petersen (1885-1986) painted a notable mural of Pilgrims for the hotel." Maybe that's why Anne stayed there.
