hmm - I don't think those are postage stamps.

They are definitely Cinderella labels of some sort - They also have English inscriptions on a few.... Might not even be from Belgium!

Hi

They are Belgian and they are Cinderella stamps. They were produced to promote tourism throughout Belgium. I am not certain when they were issued, but, believe they were issued in the 1930s (?).

Hope this helps?

I think they're Belgian cinderellas issued in connection with thw WWI, on which Ypres was a major battle field; hence the cementery and the text in English, French and German.

I believe Ypres was the unfortunate location of the first use of poison gas, mustard gas, in wartime.
