These proofs for military stamps were prepared from designs of the artist Otta Wallish at the request of the Head of the Israeli Army Postal Service in June 1948. It is believed that only one sheet of 20 color trials, from which the above strips were cut, was printed by Messrs. Lewin and Epstein. Although the designs were accepted as stamps for use on Military mail, the project was dropped and the proposed stamps never reached the printing stage, since it had been decided that Military mail would be postage free.
