1952 Health

The portrayal of the Royal children was considered most appropriate in view of the proposed visit to New Zealand of their parents and a fitting tribute to the great grandchildren of the late King George V in whose memory the New Zealand Health Camps are dedicated.

The British Post Office selected two suitable for reproduction on the New Zealand stamps from a selection of photographs obtained from Marcus Adams Ltd. The proceeds of the 'Health' value of these 1952 Health stamps were donated to the Children's Health Camps movement.
