This striking Hungarian Red Cross semi-postal stamp was issued in 1943 during World War II. The design shows a soldier in profile wearing a steel helmet with a bayonet, symbolizing defense, alongside an allegorical scene of care and compassion—a nurse aiding a mother with a child. The prominent Red Cross emblem, surmounted by the Crown of St. Stephen, reinforces its charitable purpose. The surcharge of 30 fillér was directed toward Red Cross relief efforts, making it not just a postal issue but also a humanitarian contribution. A significant wartime issue, it reflects both the military and humanitarian dimensions of Hungary in this era.
