Type IThe Series of 1916-17 3¢ Washington Type I stamps have several distinguishing features: a pronounced white line underneath Washington’s ear, and the bottom two strands of hair behind his ear are shorter than the ones above it. Other features are often less distinct than found on Type II or Type III dies. Mail During World War IBecause soldiers didn’t have free franking privileges at the start of the war, the U.S. Post Office issued booklet panes of 1¢ and 2¢ stamps specifically for the American troops in France. When the Act of October 1918 granted that military personnel could send mail free of postage, the booklets were no longer necessary and were returned to the United States. At that time, a special 1¢ war tax stamp was issued to be used on fourth class mail. Internal Revenue stamps were supplied for this purpose and distributed to postmasters to sell to the general public. These stamps had to be affixed to any parcels, except those of the American Expeditionary Forces.
