On 17 July 2014, Royal Mail launched a set of stamps to mark the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, featuring the sports of swimming, track cycling, squash, judo, netball and marathon. And also, in a corner, the Scottish flag, also known as St Andrew's Cross or the Saltire.
I have got three stamps of that set. The little X gives me a reason to add them to the Sunday Stamps - II, for the letter X that "can be anywhere in the stamp or theme word".
Then I thought in another X or cross: the Red Cross (Which, by the way, is the Red Crescent in the country I live in).

Dutch stamp from 1983, dedicated also to Het Rode Kruis.
These are original solutions to the x-stamps question!
ReplyDeleteThis was the only think that came to my mind :)
DeleteThe XX Commonwealth Games logo fits perfectly with Scotland's flag!
ReplyDeleteso we have a bonus here :)
DeleteI liked those Commonwealth Games stamps, the Scottish flag used as the roman numerals was a bit controversial for some at the time because 2014 was the year the country was voting whether to separate from the UK.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Roman numerals?!?
DeleteYou did find some after all! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the post inspired me :D
DeleteGood to see the Red Cross again on these.
ReplyDeleteI know it is a very usual theme, but I don't have a lot of stamps about the Red Cross/Crescent.
