In the August 2016 issue of Stamp Magazine, we focus on World War I, comparing British and French commemoratives of the conflict, examining the use of pigeons for carrying mail, and investigating postcards of the period. We also reassess the postal history of the Trucial States of the Persian Gulf, tell the story behind an all-time classic stamp of the Cayman Islands, pin down the forgotten country of Boyaca, and present our verdict on the new Beatrix Potter issue from Royal Mail.
Our regular coverage includes world news, GB news, auction highlights, diary dates and a worldwide new issue guide.
