Has a cancellation with "MEF" which is the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force (also BMEF), these are British HQ formed mainly in Italian colonies in the Mediterranean, like tripoli, salonika, areteria and somalia, some information about these you can find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Expeditionary_Force
But these never reached Iraq or Baghdad !! how how can we have an Iraqi stamop cancelled with such a cancellation that was used in another region ?
Sign 20 or 30 or 40: The ink used to hide "awlad alshohada" is very shallow while the ink that was used was VERY thick because it was dry ink, the stamp is washed many times and this ink cannot be effected, this one you can even read what is written below the ink in the crescent.
