HELP FOR WAR SURVIVORS
(22nd Sep 1944)
This set of 7 stamps was issued to raise funds for war survivors.
No legitimate covers are known with these stamps (except for rare lower denomination covers). There are a great number of phony cancellations in circulation and all items should be expertised.
The original stamps are inscribed "MSHQIPNIJA | NDIHMË PËR TË MJE RUARËT NGA LUFTA" - 'ALBANIA | HELP FOR WAR SURVIVORS'. The image on the stamps shows a bombed out building with a dead body and a man carrying a child survivor of the bombing.
