436*One of the world’s largest horde of Italy 'Poczta Osiedli Polskich w Italii' stamps issued by the Polish Resettlement Corps in Italy, 1946. Literally thousands of stamps in mint sheets as found. Appears to be complete sets; but not sure. Several sheets may have folds or sticking together from storage and age. The Resettlement Corps was created by the British Government under the auspices of the War Relief Services (NCWC) in May 1946, and was tasked with processing the some 300,000 Polish soldiers in the western sphere of liberated Europe. These stamps were printed by 'L.P.S. Off. Carte Valori' in Rome, in 1946, in various Polish denominations; they feature Polish motifs and certain issues are also overprinted in English, French or Polish with Roosevelt's "Honor the Four Freedoms".Cat.
