Vintage (Barbados) WW I Poster Stamp One Fraction Belgian Barbados Relief

Vintage Belgium (Barbados) WW I Charity Poster Stamp One Fraction Belgian Barbados Relief Unused No Gum Clipped Upper Left Side As Shown. During World War One, a significant number of Commonwealth countries decided that they would rise to the call from the Belgian Foreign Minister, and raise funds to help Belgian refugees. Subject to privations in their own country following the invasion by Germany, the people of Belgian were destitute and many other countries sought to help them. Amongst those answering the call was a small committee, set up in Barbados, composing nine influential businessmen who thought that the citizens of Barbados could help. To this end, they arranged for the printing of a special label, which could be bought in sheets and then affixed to letters and postcards, the sales of which would provide funds for the Belgians. The label, seen in figure 1 below, was printed locally and having been purchased, people put them on letters and cards. Special Thanks To And More Information At:
