Rothiemurchus, by Aviemore, Badenoch and Strathspey, Scotland
The stamp shows the Victoria Cross, George Cross and Noorunissa Inayat Khan
from the Remarkable Lives Stamp series. The series features people
born in 1914, who would have turn 100 this year if they were alive.
Noorunissa Inayat Khat, (1914-1944) a British Indian dubbed the Spy Princess,
was a descendant of the Tipu Sultan of Mysore. She was a wireless officer
for the British Special Operations Executive in Paris in 1943.
Thanks very much Tom, who I do a weekly postcard swap with,
for the special commemorative stamps , I learnt something new about
an important person for the WWII French resistance.
