The April-June 1986 issue of “Miasma Philatelist” carried an article on anti-malaria slogan cancels. Included was a listing of the then known 103 U.K. post offices that used a slogan cancel like the one shown at left. Reportedly, 350 offices were issued a device for the cancel. As of this writing, 328 of those offices |
| have been identified. Scans of cancels from 136 offices have been provided to the editors of the Handbook of Malaria Philately. Following is a listing of offices known to have used the cancellation. A plus sign in front of an office name indicates that a scan for the office is available for the handbook. Readers are asked to inform the editors of offices not listed below and to provide high-quality (10), high-resolution (300 dpi) .jpeg digital images of available covers bearing cancellations from offices for which scans have not yet been made available. Also needed are scans of covers with an August 1 or August 31 postmark, with postmarks before August 1 and after August 31, and with special cachets related to the postmark. Scans can be attached to e-mail addressed to malariastamps@yahoo.com or emikeyb@yahoo.com. Please include a statement of permission to use the scans in the handbook. | |

| An additional number of cancels like the one at right also exist. These were reportedly used for telegrams, each telegraph office having a different number in the triangle. The handbook editors seek information from readers about the number of telegraph offices that used such a cancel and the name of the office represented by each number. |
