POLISH POSTAGE STAMPS
A second series of eight postage stamps for use on letters mailed at sea from Polish men of war and merchantmen was issued recently by the Polish Government in London, states the Polish Consul-General, Count Wodzicki. These illustrate some of the activities of the Polish armed forces and the Polish Underground Resistance Movement. Among the former is one of historical interest, as it portrays the late General Sikorski's last meeting with his troops in the Middle East, and others which depict the Polish campaigns in Norway, France, and Libya, a Wellington bomber of< a Polish Coastal Command Squadron attacking a German U-boat in the Atlantic (an actual incident), and ships of the Polish mercantile fleet. The two stamps portraying th« Polish Underground Resistance Movement are most striking. One shows the destruction of a railway track in Ger-man-occupied Poland, which leads to the Russian front, and the other the printing, "department" of an .'underground Press. • ' , • ' ,
