This 29p commemorative stamp from the Isle of Man was issued in 1983 to celebrate the centenary of the Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmen’s Families Association (SS&AFA). It features a dignified portrait of Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1900–1979), who served as the association’s president from 1953 until his death. To the right, an inset illustration depicts a serviceman, his wife, and child — symbolizing the family support that SS&AFA has provided to British armed forces members for over a century. The royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II appears at the top left, marking the stamp’s official status.
