Belgian WWII Liberation Local Issues

Belgium · 1944 · 50c, 1F

The stamps feature a stylized 'V' for victory, a lion rampant, and the word 'LIBERATION' at the top, with denominations '50c' and '1F' at the bottom. The design is simple and patriotic, likely for a temporary local postal service.

These stamps were issued locally in Belgium during or immediately after World War II, commemorating the liberation of a village by Allied (British) forces. They represent a temporary postal authority during the transition from occupation to restored national sovereignty.
