The name of the group translates to 'Polish Forces in the Middle East'. The stamp was a commemorative
for the unit whose command post was at Kassasin, Egypt. The unit covered the two territorial regions of
Egypt and Palestine. This was after the Polish army merged with the British War Office. The stamp was
issued Nov. 16, 1947, at the main Fieldpost Office No. 101 and No. 114. It sold for 11 mls. per copy and
100,000 copies were printed in Cairo. From an article in the Polonus Bulletin of Oct-Nov 1952. [Ed Pieklo]
