During the period of British rule over the Land of Israel, post offices were established in more than one hundred and thirty settlements all over the country. Some of the post offices were opened in old and established settlements, and others were established in new and sparsely populated settlements that came up on the ground a short time before. One of those settlements was "Afula", where a post office was opened in 1920.
On September 15, 1852, the Luxembourg Post issued its first postage stamps. The name of the country was not written on the stamps, and the face value was in the currency of Belgium.

The time element is very difficult to represent visually, and over the years stamp designers have tried to deal with this point in a variety of creative ways. A good example of a possible solution can be found in the stamp designed by Georg Mori in 1952.
A piece of transparent paper with adhesive on one side, usually folded into two unequal parts. The short part is glued to the back of the stamp and the top, while the long part is glued to the album page. This method allows the stamp to be easily lifted to examine the back. Good quality adhesives come off easily with water.
An envelope sent on the island of Trinidad documents an attempt by the local charity to collect donations for the Red Cross during World War I. The course of events turned this activity into a philatelic curiosity.
