Themes On GB Stamps
Here you will find the original version of the series of articles "GB Themes" which were published in Stamp Magazine between 2016 and 2019. The late BTA member Jeff Dugdale analysed GB commemorative stamp issues by theme and wove the story they tell into a narrative for each theme which he very kindly made available to BTA members.
