Sudan Military Telegraphs Stamp

Sudan · 1898 · 10 Piastres

This stamp features a central design of a dromedary camel, an animal vital for transport and communication in the region. The inscription 'SUDAN MILITARY TELEGRAPHS' encircles the vignette, indicating its specific purpose for telegraphic services under military administration. The denomination 'TEN PIASTRES' is prominently displayed at the bottom.

Issued during the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium period, these stamps were used for telegraph services run by the military following the Mahdist War. They represent the establishment of modern communication infrastructure under British influence in late 19th-century Sudan.
