I bought this Australian Disney war stamps album a while ago.

Love this back cover! First time I ever have seen a British character with Uncle Sam. Wonder if he has a name? Thanks for posting! :applause:

That's the inside front cover. I believe he's named "John Bull". See here.

It has an odd mix of Disney characters and other stuff - including this UK/US piece sourced from Canada!

It also has a page for war stamps:

So I figured I should have one to put in it. Turns out these aren't too hard to find on eBay:

What a great piece and something that would never turn up in the US.

My father in law was in the Navy in WWII. He met my mother in law in Australia and ended up “importing” her to the US.  :roflmao:

Not an unusual story. Did she travel on one of the "bride trains"?
