Here are a couple of Ilminster Skeleton cancels, the first from November 1894. The Skeleton handstamp was applied on the reverse of the envelope when it was redirected from Ilminster to London.
This "ILMINSTER / SOMERSET" skeleton cancel was applied on December 1916, and is known in use from 13th November to 20th December 1916.
To go with the 1916 cancel, here is a paper cutting showing the Ilminster Post Office staff from the 1914-1918 period.
