The Czechoslovakian Legions were volunteer armed forces composed predominantly of Czechs and Slovaks fighting together with the Entente powers against the Central Powers during World War I. The Czechoslovakian Legion fighting with Russia, the Druzina ("Company"), was created in 1914. Here is an image of a stamp depicting Ensign Jarloslav Heyduk, a Czech resident of Kiev, holding up the colors of the Druzina, its design consisting of the crown of St. Wenceslas as the central motif, with the coats of arms of the four provinces of Czechoslovakia: Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Slovakia in each corner. This stamp was designed by the Czechoslovak Graphic Union, engraved by Karl Friedrich Seizinger, and issued by Czechoslovakia on August 15, 1934 as one of a four-stamp set commemorating the 20th anniversary of the formation of the Legions, Scott No. 197, SG No. 330. - nethryk |

Here is an image of a stamp depicting the French national flag inscribed with the motto of the Order of the Legion of Honor: Honneur et Patrie ("Honor and Fatherland"), and marching cadets, designed and engraved by Charles Mazelin, and issued by France on August 1, 1954 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the foremost French military academy, the École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, located in Coëtquidan, Brittany, Scott No. 731, Y&T No. 996. Note also the academy's motto inscribed above the gate: Ils s'instruisent pour vaincre: literally, "They study to vanquish." - nethryk  |
