Thanks to the Royal Mail's slip-up I have a new 'S' this week.
Sarmi, in the Dutch New Guinea (now Indonesia) was where American troops landed on 17 May 1945.
The Royal Mail issued a preview of stamps for 2019 intended to depict the D-Day landing of Allied troops in France on 6 June 1944.
Unfortunately this was the Americans landing at Sarmi!
{I wonder whether any of these stamps will ever be on the market}
It was plain sailing for my other stamps this week.
Meanwhile for more 'S' stamps check out the links at Sunday-stamps-s.

Later that year (13 August) the Royal Mail commemorated the 150th Anniversary of Public Railways; the set included -
I included all trains in the set when explaining the connection between my local town and the start of the Stockton & Darlington Railway here.
