Ireland: 2021 Centenary of the Truce N Rate Setenant Pair MNH
On July 11, the Government officially launched two stamps to mark the centenary of the truce
between the British forces in Ireland and the self-proclaimed Irish Republic, which had waged
the War of Independence since January 1919.
One of the stamps features an excerpt from a letter from de Valera to Lloyd George, which was
published in the Belfast Newsletter newspaper on July 9.
The second stamp reproduces a headline from the Irish Bulletin on the day the truce began.
The Bulletin was the official gazette of the Irish Republic government – after winning the General
Election in 1918, the Sinn Fein party had declared an Irish republic.
This is the N Rate Setenant Pair MNH
