Bolivia 1933 Chaco War Airmail Stamp

Bolivia · 1933 · 30 Centavos

This airmail stamp depicts Bolivian soldiers in a trench during the Chaco War. The design, rendered in a somber grey-brown, captures a moment of conflict with one soldier aiming a rifle while another appears to be tending to a machine gun.

Issued in 1933, this stamp was part of a series to raise funds for Bolivia's efforts in the Chaco War (1932-1935) against Paraguay over the disputed Gran Chaco region.
