Heroes of the Resistance

Heroes of the Resistance was a set of stamps issued from 1957 to 1961 by La Poste, commemorating 26 members of the French Resistance who died during the Occupation between 1940 and 1945 (apart from Edmond Debeaumarché, who died in 1959). Of the 26, two are Catholic monks and nuns and three are women.
