Shown below is the 1919 5 Cent issue of the Newfoundland stamp. The stamp bears the legend "Royal Naval Reserve" with "Ubique" below the legend. Most of the stamps in this issue bore the legend "Trail of the Caribou" with the name of a battle below that, however the 2 Cent, 5 Cent, 8 Cent and 12 Cent issues bore the legend as shown below.The stamps with values from 1 Cent to 36 Cents were issued to commemorate the the Newfoundland Contingent who fought in the First World War. Each issue had the name of a battle in which the contingent fought during the war. This particular example has been hand-cancelled. (See other values of this stamp issue this blog)
