Surprisingly Baden-Powell is honoured in stamps of Kurdistan. Well, I was not awared that Brittons had let so good memories in Southern Kurdistan, but his commemoration, KRG published a special serie of all his paintings.
In 2005, they celebrated Jules Verne. After all he is famous as author and translatedin all the worldbut he seems strangely associated with military planes, though Kurds have not nice memories of “bombaran”.
But they have made also many stamps figuring lighthouse, probably because of their great tradition of sailing… Then no thems is surprising. I just wonder who makes the choice and why…
However, they don’t forget to published Kurdish pictures, fortunately as we can see here and here.
