  • The "POSTES RELAIS" Cancellations of Luxembourg STA.L-F
    The "POSTES RELAIS" Cancellations of Luxembourg . Among the 17 postal relais existing in 1881, 13 did not yet possess a cancelling device. These 13 offices received a two ring obliterator with the inscription "POSTES RELAIS'', followed by the number of the relais (seePostal Instruction No. 115/2906, dated 9August 1881) but without hour indication. The postal relais were: Arsdorf (No. 1), Bissen (No. 2), Differdange (No. 3), Kautenbach (No. 4), Mamer (No. 5), Oetrange (No. 6), Bettingen (No. 7), Rambrouch (No. 8), Reisdorf (No. 9), Strassen (No. 10), Walferdange (No. 11), Wecker (No. 12) and Wilwerwiltz (No. 13). The cancel "POSTES RELAIS No. 4" was transferred on 1 April 1883 to the relais ofDalheim. The relaiS of Beaufort, opened on 1June 1889 received the cancel "Postes Relais Nr. 14". The standard color of the cancels is usually black for all post offices, but there are also cancels in blue, lilac or on very rare occasions - green. The outside diameter of the cancels is 25, 25.5 or 26 mm, the inside diameter of the double circle is always 15 mm. At the end of the year 1891 the "POSTES RELAIS" cancellation devices are all replaced by a two ring circle with the name of the town on it. These towns were at the time very small, often with a few hundred inhabitants. In first years of usage of the cancels the stamps and postal stationery shown are of the classic "Coat ofArms" design. In later years they get replaced by stamps with the "Allegory" design. STA.L-F. -- - A !Sll Ce cM(- c�t rC!'cnc excluli=n·ement a l'adresse Pour 11Int�r1eu,.

Dear Friend of the Museum, I invite you to join The National WWII Museum on a commemorative 75th anniversary tour of the sites made significant during the Battle of the Bulge. Expertly researched by our own staff, and led by expert battlefield guide Roland Gaul and military historian Edwin Popken, this is the most immersive tour of the Ardennes available today. From the famous “northern shoulder” of the Bulge near Elsenborn Ridge, through the Bastogne Corridor, and to the Luxembourg Ardennes, you will trace the routes of the last major German offensive in the West and encounter the heroic stories of the soldiers who fought and won America’s largest and costliest campaign of World War II. In late 1944, few thought that a massive German counterattack was possible.

Eng Woch laang gouf besonnesch un deen Dag erënnert, wou d’amerikanesch Zaldoten vun Athus hir an eist Land gefuer koumen. Et kéint ee soen, et wier e Gebuertsdag gewiescht, well no véier laange Joren ënner der Schreckensherrschaft vun engem Nazi-Regime muss et de Bierger ewéi en neit Liewe virkomm sinn. Firwat eng national Ausstellung zu Péiteng? Jo, et gi Muséeën a Gedenkplazen am Land, déi un de Krich erënneren.
