Czechoslovak Policy

A numbered sheet (no. 15) on yellow stock with photographs of the first Czechoslovak government formed in London in July 1940, the signing of the British-Czechoslovak military agreement and a close portrait of Jan Masaryk, beside a short text on the repudiation of the Munich Pact. The tell for transfer is the pairing of the exile government with the signing of the agreement with Britain and the Soviet pact, which lends it the standing of those partners.
