"Occupation stamps"
"Issued under German Occupation"]


BTW, why this name "lake" for this colour ???

I see what I would name a carmine colour.


In the Scott catalogues, lake is darker in colour than carmine.
Here's an eBay guide which attempts to show the difference.

My old Stanley Gibbons Colour Guide also considers lake to be
darker than carmine.
