Greece. Cover, Two covers Liberation Propaganda with the provisonal E.D.E.S., the Resistance Movement, both signed by General Napoleon Zervas on the 21st September 1944. The printing numbers are extremely low and were personally given to Major Carter, the British Officer who accompanied Zervas for conference talks with General Sir Henry Wilson in Caserta. There are eight stamps all in all, the first cover having the mauve fancy cancel for a liberated Greece, and the second cover, very slightly soiled with a double concentric circle, black pmk of a Greek town, probably Caserta. An exceptionally rare pair, most certainly exhibition status. These are hardly ever seen on the market.
