Australia 2015 The battle of Lone Pine Medallion Album with wood chips printed on the stamp
Issue date 14 April 2015
As part of the Centenary of World War I commemoration, Australia Post has issued The Battle of Lone Pine Medallion Album folder which includes a minisheet featuring shavings from the Australian War Memorial - Lone Pine tree as part of the printing process. The stamp on the minisheet was issued as part of a set of 5 stamps for commemorating the Gallipoli Campaign Centenary.
The Battle of Lone Pine was fought between Australian and Ottoman Empire forces during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War, between 6 and 10 August 1915.
The folder contains a wonderfully designed medallion that contains shavings from the Australian War Memorial Lone Pine tree grown from a seed brought back from Gallipoli. Shavings used are from a branch that feel during a storm in 2008.
A limited edition of 3000 folders with the unusual minisheet was issued.
