This set of three stamps features surcharges applied to earlier definitive issues. The overprint reads "LEGION TRICOLORE" and includes a new denomination, repurposing existing stamp stock for postal use. The base stamps depict traditional Moroccan scenes and architecture.

Issued in 1943-44, these stamps were overprinted for the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism (LVF), also known as the Legion Tricolore, which fought alongside German forces on the Eastern Front during World War II.
