Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 46 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.
My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been two years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!
It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)
Peace & Love from Borneo Island..

Hi Carol,
I got curious about the woman in the stamp you shared. Went to wiki and there I learned about her more. Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan was an Allied SOE agent during the Second World War who was posthumously awarded the George Cross, the highest civilian decoration in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations. As an SOE agent during the Second World War, she became the first female radio operator to be sent from Britain into occupied France to aid the French Resistance. Inayat Khan was 30 years old when she was killed in action.
I checked out on online stamp catalogue I usually visit and found the same stamp of Noorunissa Inayat Khan. It was issued in March 25, 2014, entitled Remarkable Lives – 100th Birth Anniversaries.
