SAAR PROTECTORATE, a region that was under French control after World War II (1947–1956), issued a stamp depicting a monument to Marshal Ney.
This stamp, with 84 Pfenning (later issues valued at 20 France) was affixed to a postcard dated 24 August 1947 commemorating an event in Saarlouis, Germany, related to Marshal Ney who was from this city.
The postcard was issued by the "Souvenir du Maréchal Ney, Saarlouis et environs" organisation for the handover of a flag by Governor Grandval on 24 August 1947, during the St. Louis festival. The proceeds from the sale of the postcard were slated to cover the costs of the festival.
