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 July 15, 1982, the Post Office of Granada issued its first official stamps. The issue was made by adding an overprint in the form of PRG, initials of People’s Revolutionary Government, on previous stamps of the island.
The process of producing a new stamp involves a series of steps, from the initial idea, through research and preliminary design, to the judicial review of the various committees that examine the stamp. Each of these steps influences the final design of the stamp issued to the public.
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.
