Minehead - More Skeletons

Another couple of periods of use for the Skeleton cancel:
 This time the Skeleton is sandwiched between Squared Circle and Double Circle, Double-Arc cancels.  Note that the skeleton is "MINEHEAD SO" whereas the one used in 1904 was "MINEHEAD RSO".


There was a further use of a skeleton cancel in February1917 - did the CDS cancel break or was there some other reason ?  This time the skeleton is "MINEHEAD / SOMERSET".

A final example of the Minehead used on Book Post abroad, with a "POST OFFICE / EXPRESS" cachet.
