Colour checks in the form of coloured discs 3mm in diameter are seen in the right hand margin, next to the last stamp of the bottom row, in each Pane, of each value, in issues X and Y. The colours from top to bottom correspond to the colours used for Pane numbers from left to right, on all Panes, of all values, in issues X and Y. Cumulative totals of progressive columns of stamps, are seen in top and bottom margins, on all Panes, of all values, in issues X and Y. It is of interest to note here that the printed progressive totals of columns of stamps in the 12c value are only half of the true value. This error was noticed in Panes A, B and C of this value. These progressive totals are printed in blue in issue X and in red in issue Y.

On August 3, 1914, on the eve of Britain's entry in the conflict, Government Notice No 124 was published in Malta to institute and regulate censorship. A number of other Government Notices and Regulations consolidated, amended or repealed the official enactments which were periodically published to regulate censorship. The English text of these enactments is reproduced as an Appendix to this article. The various Notices etc. refer to a Censor, a Press Censor, a Postal Censor, a Senior Censor and a Military Censor. It is not always clear whether these designate different functions in the same officer, or different officers. [excerpt] 1989-04-01T00:00:00Z
