Besides selling their series of lkifeboat event covers and a series of UK FDCs, the RNLI did sell poster stamps (stickers) to raise funds and also produced a stamp album to hold them. These "stickers" first appeared in 1915 and there have been various series. I do not know if there is a catalogue of them. |

Peter- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger or DGzRS (literally translated: "German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked", but more commonly referred to in English as the German Lifeboat Institution or GLI) is responsible for Search and Rescue in German territorial waters in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, including the Exclusive Economic Zone. The headquarters and the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre of the Society are located in Bremen. It was founded in Kiel on 29 May 1865. It owns 61 lifeboats at 54 stations, 185 employed crew members and 800 volunteers. The Society has about 2500 engagements every year. Up to 2005, it rescued approximately 72,000 persons. In 2004 it saved 368 lives, rescued 837 persons from critical situations and carried out 343 medical transports. Like the comparable British and Dutch organizations, the DGzRS is entirely financed by membership fees, private donations and legacies. Writer and honorary member Nikolai von Michalewsky has immortalized the DGzRS in his series of science fiction novels by taking it as the model for his "Independent Society for Saving Spacewrecked".
