LIBYA STAMPS (7 November 1983)

1983 "Battle of Abughelan"
Battles of the Libyan People against the Italian occupying forces in the period 1911-1940. This period of the history of Libya was commemorated years later (period '80s/'90s) by the Libyan Posts. Several stamps issues were dedicated to the "Battles of Libya", to the "Deported Libyans to Italy", to the story of Omar Mukhtar, Libyan national hero, and to the Libyan Martyrs Day.
