Notes:
This is a truly AMAZING cover with a different poppy stamp and different postmark for each centenary year of the Great War, i.e. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. This is the first time that Royal Mail have officially agreed to applying more than two different postmarks to a cover. (The only other example was in 1981 when a few Royal Wedding covers had three different postmarks applied).
