Russian Tsarist Generals 1919 Labels

Greetings all... I searched for this particular stamp and have found only one vague reference to it. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to whether it is and possible value.

This stamp has been sitting in a box for about 10 years and I'd love to put a name to it. One site (a while ago) said it was likely White Russian Army issue, but supplied no information. Unfortunately, my Russian is pretty weak (ok non-existent) so I'm having a problem tracking this particular one.


Any help will be much appreciated.

This is the discussion about them in 2004

Take from it, what you will.

Labels of 1919 Generals
I'd be very grateful if anyone can tell me about the labels illustrated at
http://leamphil.users.btopenworld.c...Gens1919.jpg
Who do they depict ? Who printed the labels and why ? are there more in the series ?
Regards,
Nick Bridgwater

They depict some White Russian Generals (and Admiral) from the Russian Civil War:
Gen Alekseev (green)
Gen May-Mayevsky (blue)
Admiral Kolchak (red, orange)
Gen Konilov
Gen Denikin

Thank you ... any ideas on:

1) What battle and who the larger label depicts (shows someone holding a crucifix
leading the army) ?

2) Who/where/when the labels were printed ? ... presumably as propaganda

Regards,
Nick

He is a Russian Orthodox Priest blessing the troops before battle defending their
homeland. Priest could also participate in defending of mother Russia and the people,
church, but could not take communion for 5 years afterwards.

It is believed the labels were printed in Italy in the early 1920's.
