Hi Robi13,

The first two stamps are basically what the overprints say.

The first stamp is from the Indian state of Patiala in northern India (overprint on a King Edward VII stamp of British India).

The second stamp is from Burma (overprint on a King George V stamp of British India).

The third, fifth and sixth stamps are from the Japanese Occupation of Burma during the second world war

The fourth stamp is from the Japanese-controlled state of Manchukuo in Manchuria, northern China.

The "SERVICE" notation on the first two stamps means they were used for official government purposes.
