Ilminster between the Wars

The first two covers here are censored in July and August 1916 from Ilminster to Switzerland.

Moving on to January 1917, the card below is from Montreal and has a poor example of the "ILMINSTER / SOMERSET" skeleton cancel from that period.

In February 1919, here is a postcard to Crewkerne with a single ring cancel.

... and then "a couple of "ILMINSTER / +" double circle double-arc cancels from 1922 and 1923.

By 1924 the cancel had been replaced with an "ILMINSTER / SOMERSET" double circle double-arc cancel (here are examples from 1924, 1925, 1926).

Not all items went via the Post Office, freight would have gone by the railway as evidenced by this receipt for cartage of wheat from 1925.

The "ILMINSTER / SOMERSET" double circle double-arc cancel was replaced by one with smaller lettering as shown on the postcard below from June 1930 ...

... and by this airmail from Ilminster to Buenos Aires that went via Paris (rather than via Germany).

The envelope below is from France to Ilminster in 1938 and was underfranked so charged postage due.  It was probably franked at the domestic rather than international rate and has tax marks including a "T" in a triangle.
