Many countries have honoured the work of The Salvation Army by producing Postage Stamps showing aspects of Salvation Army Ministries.
The collection of postage stamps in the Salvation Army Museum Basel contains almost all stamps produced to honour The Salvation Army.
100 years Salvation Army
In conjunction with the centenary celebrations of the founding of The Salvation Army, in 1965, Great Britain produced two stamps. The stamps illustrate the general images of the salvationists, Brass Bands on street corners and the well known uniforms of the members.
For the collector it is also interesting, that some of these stamps are made with a perpendicular phosphorus strip. This strip is hard to see and most people would not notice the strip..
For the same celebrations Jamaica produced two special stamps. Typical Jamaican is the white Salvation Army cap, which fits to the white uniform of the Jamaican salvationists.
In 1965 The Salvation Army was in operation on all five continents spreading the message of God's love to man. This is symbolised by the two Salvationists marching in front of the globe.
