In 1956, in the aftermath of Suez and Arab-Israeli fighting in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations created their first Emergency Force and sent it to Egypt in a peacekeeping role. Amongst this force was a detachment (Odred) of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), and Yugoslav soldiers remained with the force (Egipat) until it was finally stood down in 1967.
JNA soldiers were entitled to free mail. All they needed was to have an envelope officially handstamped Postarina Placena Pausalno (which roughly translates as 'inclusive of postal charges'). Alternatively they could use official UNEF stationery; though these don't seem to have been much used by the Yugoslavs, probably because all the instructions on them were in English. (Both these are shown in the first scan below).
Now we get to the nub of my question. From 1957 onwards they had a third alternative, in the form of special 'commemorative' envelopes produced by the Yugoslav publishers Jugofilatelia in Belgrade, who amongst other things produced stamp catalogues. These envelopes can be found genuinely used, but the majority were probably just sold off to collectors, cancelled but not addressed. (I suspect that only the 1957 cover below is genuinely used. I doubt whether many of Mr Samotorcan's friends took a typewriter and set of labels to war with them!)
I assume these were issued every year. But as you will see below I have yet to see issues for 1962, 1964 and 1966. I would very much like to be certain that these exist, and also to see what they look like. Can anyone provide scans?
As William Empson (almost) said:
It is the covers we have lost,
The ills from missing dates,
At which the heart expires.
