What Are Some Red Cross Stamps That You Have??

Saint Louise de Marillac, D.C., (1591-1660) was the co-founder, with St. Vincent de Paul, of the Daughters of Charity ("the Grey Sisters"), who are dedicated to serving the poor. Here is an image of a Red Cross stamp depicting Saint Louise de Marillac surrounded by needy children, designed by Pierrette Lambert, engraved by Claude Haley, and issued by Monaco on November 9, 1976, Scott No. 1037, plus an image of a painted portrait of Saint Louise holding an infant.

Canada - an early use of colour in stamp marketing.

A couple of WWII era Polish Red Cross labels that are still quite common.

The first is French, printed in Paris 1939. Large Polish contingent in France late 1939-early 1940. My dad was one of the ones who got out via Romania & landed in Marseilles. Maybe the label was printed due to these Poles being around



The next two are American labels I believe, dated from one of them as 1941.
