RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR 1919 / 1921 - Stamps of Russia in the types of 1889 / 1918 with OVERHEADS of the WRANGEL ARMY IN EXILE. ( * )
collection of ten different mint ** stamps
( * ) After the defeat of the White Armies in 1919, General Wrangel ordered the retreat to Crimea, then on 11 November 1920 the evacuation of Crimea into exile. He organised a postal service to help civilian and military refugees. He had the trident stamps of Russia and Ukraine in his possession overprinted. Apart from the very rare ones on letters which travelled, these stamps are to be considered as "commercial" stamps, often issued in exile to meet the needs of refugees.
