Good morning all,
Does anyone know where I can find this in the catalogue? It is a Belgian Congo issue from 1915, but with an overprint which appears to read "German East Africa, Belgian Occupation". Have tried all the expected places in my old SG Stamps of the World, and still can't find it listed anywhere.

Have a look under Ruanda-Urundi in SG Stamps of the World.

That's strange,
I thought the Germans kept East Africa until the armistice in 1918 ?
The South Africans took SWA.

Ruanda-Urundi was part of German East Africa until occupied by Belgian forces in 1916.

The overprint is in French and Flemish.

The stamp above is SG 16

Depends on the Catalogue. Listed in Germany, or Ruanda-Burundi or German East Africa.
