This striking postage stamp from the République du Tchad depicts a uniformed soldier proudly holding the national flag in blue, yellow, and red vertical bands — symbolizing the nation’s pride and unity. The background features the map outline of Chad in a pale tone, reinforcing national identity. Issued as a Franchise Militaire stamp, it was used by members of the armed forces for postage-free correspondence. The design, signed by J. Combet and printed by SO. GE. IM., exemplifies the early post-independence patriotic issues of Chad, celebrating sovereignty and military service.
