The United Nations' police
action began in 1950 and lasted three years, when an armistice
agreement was signed at Panmunjom. The stamp has pictures of Canadian
army, navy and air force set against a background of the Korean
landscape. The map features are the green and red lines. The green
line represents the 38th parallel, and the red line indicates the
redrawn armistice line. Thanks to Bradley McInnis of Mississauga,
Ontario (whose topic is horology on stamps) for sending the stamps to
me.
