   YMCA War Emergency Fund Stamp Query

   Hi,   
      
   We mostly deal in second hand books. Recently we bought a load of Asterix   
   books which included the Asterix Stamp Album. Most of the pages were blank   
   with glue marks left by stamp hinges but there were a few stamps left.   
      
   One that caught my eye was the YMCA War Emergency Fund stamp. It is 7cm by   
   4.5cm with a red perforated boarder. White writing on a blue background to   
   top and bottom with a b/w picture of an army camp with a YMCA building   
   centre left. The building has the union flag and the YMCA logo picked out in   
   red and blue.  There is no price on it and I have been unable to locate any   
   information about it on the internet. I am not even sure if it is a 'proper'   
   stamp at all.   
      
   I am not expecting it to be rare or valuable. Nevertheless, it has piqued my   
   curiosity. Any one know anything about it?   
      
   Regards,   
      
   Graeme
