Jersey Post will issue a set of 6 stamps and 2 miniature sheets on 4 August 2015 as the second part of its series of issues on the subject of the centenary of the First World War. One of the miniature sheets contains all 6 values and the second sheet contains a single £1 value stamp which depicts Flt Lt Charles Mossop DSC, a Jerseyman who became the first man to sink an enemy submarine from the air and the first Jerseyman to land a plane in the island. The issue was designed by Chris Ede.

The Kiribati postal service will issue 4 stamps on 17 July 2015 to commemorate the Singapore 2015 Philatelic Exhibition. The set is made up of 4 values from the 2008 definitive series, which depicts various local birds, with overprints and surcharges applied. The 4 values will be 40c on 90c, 60c on $5, $1 and $2 (the last two are without surcharge). Although I do not yet have illustrations of the new stamps I depict below the 4 original stamps which will be overprinted to produce the new commemorative set. The 40c value will be produced in greater numbers than the others so that it can be used in "philatelic passports" at the exhibition:-
