There is also lovely Canadian engraved stamp and souvenir sheet issued
for the Millennium that shows a dove of peace. Maybe some kind soul can
supply the Scott number.

Lord knows we could all use a little more peace right now.......

Dulce Et Decorum Est

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,-
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Despite the current consensus, I like that stamp a lot.

So do I. Unfortunately I don't have that Scott number,
but one that immediately comes to mind is China,
(People's Republic) 1950, Scott # 57, 58, 59. Dove of
Peace by Picasso.

The same design was also used as background image
on a souvenir sheet from USSR 1981, Scott # 4993
(Birth Centenary of Picasso).

Just for Tracy, here is a scan of an item from my accumulation of Switzerland!
I refer to it as an item, because there are reported to be 17 different
varieties of forgeries of this stamp and I am probably lucky enough to have one
of those forgeries!

PS It does fill a very large ($$$$$) gap in my Swiss album

Also take a look at the 1932 Swiss issue for the International Disarmament
Conference. Scott # 210-214. I'll try to put up a scan later.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Japan #155-158, issued in 1919, #227
(1936) & #500 (1950). I have a Japanese military postcard, sent from
Occupied China in the late 1930s, featuring a printed "stamp" (what do you
call a post card "stamp"?) showing a dove perched on a military helmet. I'll
scan it later FYI.

Peace Icons or Doves on Stamps anyone??


Masters of war

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead


Bob Dylan
