During
the
conflict
between
the
UN
powers
and
North
Korea,
an
Italian
contingent
was
sent
there
together
with
a
camp
hospital
and
its
logistical
support. The
card
shows
Italian
and
Korean
stamps
with
the
respective
national
cancellations.
The
Korean
stamp
honours
our
mission
but
shows
by
mistake
the
Imperial
coat-of-arms
in
the
central
part
of
the
flag. Anyway,
the
postal
service
used
by
the
Italians
was
the
one
of
the
U.S.
Army. |
