Manchurian Stamp Red Cross 5th Anniversary
Issued October 1, 1943 (Showa 18)

Manchurian Stamp Red Cross 5th Anniversary Issued October 1, 1943 (Showa 18) At the beginning of the founding of the country in 1932, the "Onshi Fusaikai" was active in the Red Cross in Manchuria. However, the Japanese Red Cross Society (Manchuria Headquarters) is active in the Manchuria Railway Zone. After that, the abolition of the Manchuria Railway Zone in 1937 made it impossible for the Japanese Red Cross Society to operate in Manchuria, so the Manchurian Red Cross Society was established on October 1, 1938.
Stamps are issued to commemorate the 5th anniversary and are designed by nurses. Reference: Wikipedia "Red Cross of Manchuria" 2022.6.16
