    1857: 1 d. rose, wmk. Large Crown, perf. 14; used example on somewhat aged piece cancelled by "F.F." (Field Force) obliterator in black. Extremely rare, believed to be the only such usage on piece; also a defective 6 d. mauve pl. 6 cancelleed by superb strike of the "F.F." obliterataor-the only recorded example on this value. Note: The Field Force did not sell British stamps, the few known used examples were all carried to the Campaign by Officers and Soldiers and accepted by the Post Office at Zulla.
