The "E.E.F." on stamps refers to the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) stamps,

which were issued during the British occupation of Palestine in the early 20th century.

These stamps were overprinted with "PALESTINE" and used for postal services in the occupied territory.

Specifically, the E.E.F. series of stamps was overprinted with "PALESTINE" to signify their use in the occupied territory.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    Historical Context:
    The EEF stamps were issued by the British authorities during their occupation of Palestine, which lasted from 1917 to 1920.

Overprint:
The stamps were overprinted with "PALESTINE" to distinguish them from the regular EEF stamps used in Egypt.

Denominations:
Several denominations of EEF stamps were issued, with the 3 milliemes denomination

being commonly used for local postal services within Palestine.

Value:
The value of the stamp will be the value indicated on the stamp itself.

Rarity and Value:
Some EEF stamps, especially those with "PALESTINE" overprints, are quite rare and can be valuable to collectors.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

    Historical Context: During World War I, the British Empire had significant military operations in the Middle East,

including the campaigns in Palestine and surrounding areas.

    Stamps: To administer postal services in these occupied territories, the British authorities used existing Egyptian stamps and

overprinted them with "PALESTINE" and sometimes "EEF" to signify their use within the areas controlled by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force.

    What EEF signified: The "EEF" on the stamp served as a marker that the stamp was intended

for use within the postal system managed by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force.

In short, if you see "EEF" on a stamp, it likely indicates that it was used during the period when the

Egyptian Expeditionary Force was in control of certain postal services in the Middle East,

particularly Palestine and surrounding regions after World War I.
