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.
The Zaire 1980 Salvation Army stamps were released to celebrate the Salvation Army Centenary in the USA. Recently, a sheet of proof stamps including the complete set and the minisheet of General and Mrs. Brown was found on eBay. Although imperforated versions of each stamp have been seen before, this particular arrangement is unfamiliar. It is unclear whether these are post office proofs or a different type of print. If anyone has information regarding this, kindly get in touch through my “contact me” site.

These two Netherlands Christmas stamp sheet were issued by the capital city postal group in 1992. They were used for a national Christmas card and stamp campaign, intended as support for the Salvation Army. The franking amount was 50 cents per stamp. I have not seen these on any covers and I’m not aware of whether there was an official first day of issue.

“Switzerland honors the Salvation Army”. A US Philatelist celebrated the Swiss Salvation Army stamp of 1958 – A memento of the Salvation Army Annual Association. Compliments from Cincinnati Philatelist R. Hoffman. Evidently, US Philatelists (and salvationists?) were aware of the Swiss SA issue in 1958, which explains the country combo with the Swiss and the US SA stamp of 1965.
Salvation Army celebrated its centenary in Belize in 2015. Two stamps were issued, one showing a Christmas kettle (25 c) and the other the regional headquarter of the SA in Belize ($2). The territorial HQ is located on Jamaica.
The Salvation Army in Greenland was the beneficiary of the 2019 additional-value stamp. The social cause supported was the SA homeless shelter in Nuuk; “William’s cafe”. The forerunner in 2012 was a soup kitchen which provided hot meals, but soon it grew out of its its and was moved to bigger premises at 47 HJ Rinksvej in Nuuk. The presentation folder of the issue, which also included the souvenir sheet, is written in Danish, English and German.
