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
michaelfbirrer@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.
