The 3rd Białystok-Vilnius Philatelic Exhibition 1985



This is a postcard to commemorate the III Wystawa Filatelistyczna Białystok - Wilno (3rd Białystok-Vilnius Philatelic Exhibition) held in 1985. I have already posted in this blog the commemorative postcard of the 2nd Exhibition held in 1982 (please click the label "WYSTAWA FILATELISTYCZNA BIAŁYSTOK - WILNO" below this article to check it. ), this is the 3rd of its kind. The stamp used is the commemorative issue of the Wojna Obronna 1939, literally meaning "defensive war" which points out the war the Poles fought against the German invasion at the beginning of WWII in 1939, also known as "Kampania wrześniowa", the September Campaign.
