This official Salvation Army envelope was issued with a first day cancellation on the stamps to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Norwegian Telegraph Service. It is very rare to find official Salvation Army envelopes released as First Day Covers! Lena is a small corps located near Gjøvik and Mjøsa, and this envelope was likely issued by a Salvationist with an interest in philately.
Special envelope for personal contributions to the national collection for the work of the Salvation Army in the Netherlands (“Mijn Personnlijke bijdrage aan de nationale collecte”). Dated: 02.03.1987 (not FDC).

This cover is truly extraordinary, never seen before and potentially one-of-a-kind. It features the first Salvation Army stamps ever issued; the 33-year-older Netherlands Indies SA stamp set (1932), which has been added to a United States First Day Cover (SA 4.19). This exceptional combination is likely the work of a collector or connoisseur who possessed in-depth knowledge of SA stamps. During the 1960s, likely few were familiar with the Netherlands Indies set. Additionally, obtaining stamps from foreign countries was much more challenging back then, and having extra sets for such country combo issues, let alone coming up with this combo idea, would be rare.
Salvation Army Centenary in Canada in 1982.

Large cachet (226 x 102 mm). Rare – not seen with this size before. A similar smaller cachet has been obtained before.

Information about the Salvation Army on the Faroe Islands and the minisheet, which will be issued on 23 October 2024.
A minisheet will be issued on 23 October 2024 to commemorate the centenary of the Salvation Army on the Faroe Islands. The Salvation Army was established on the islands on 23 October 1924. Although the Faroe Islands have strong links to Denmark as an autonomous region of Denmark, they are part of the Norwegian region of the Salvation Army. There are two corps: Torshavn in the north and Våg in the south. The picture is a test print seen in the official Færoe Islands philiatelic journal.
