Guernsey Stamps Exhibitor: Richard Ashton My main collection of stamps 'off cover' exhibited here commences in the latter Queen Victoria period through to modern issues. The high face value stamps of Great Britain with Guernsey postmarks are from Queen Victoria to King George V with scarce King Edward VII £1 values and a King George V Postal Union Congress £1 which must be very scarce used in Guernsey. The wartime 'Arms' issue include some scarce perforation varieties and a complete set of 'imprint' blocks that has taken many years to put together. There is a pair of the Liberation Imprimaturs Class: Stamps Large Silver Entered in: CISS Annual Competition 2026
Bradshaw Cards Exhibitor: Richard Ashton When Red Cross message forms first arrived at the States of Guernsey from the Red Cross Bureau in Geneva a specially printed postcard was sent to the addressee advising them that a message had been received addressed to them. This exhibit is part of my collection of these cards and the many variations that exist including changes of address where the addressee could go to claim their message. Until he was deported to Biberach the unit was managed by George Augustus Bradshaw after who the cards are called.

Guernsey Postal History Exhibitor: Richard Ashton This exhibit is an extract from my Postal History collection of Guernsey. The earliest item is of 1799 to Thomas Batt in London. Batt had extensive sugar estates in Grenada. There are early variations of the concave and scroll \'GUERNSEY\' postmark. In the later period is a large entire from London with a pair of the 1841 2d and a circular \'TOO-LATE G.P.O.\' My particular favourite is a postcard of 1906 where a young sweetheart invites her boyfriend to meet together. In her naivete she addresses the card care of her swaine's mother! Class: Postal History Silver Entered in: CISS Annual Competition 2026
