Philip Saunders (philatelist)

Philip Thomas Saunders FRPSL (10 August 1899 – 28 May 1975) was a British banker and philatelist. He started in banking before the First World War but his career was interrupted by service in the Royal Flying Corps during the conflict. Returning to banking after the war, he published a history of Stuckey's Bank in 1928, working for banks that ultimately became today's National Westminster, before retiring in 1959.

In philately, he founded the British West Indies Study Circle (BWISC) in 1954 and wrote a survey of the postal history, postage stamps and postmarks of the Cayman Islands with Everard F. Aguilar that was published in 1962. His work and that of other collaborators on a survey of the postal history, stamps, and postal stationery of Dominica to 1935 was completed by fellow BWISC member E. Victor Toeg and published in 1994.
