   I have posted some of these in the earlier days of the Forum, but the images have all disappeared. Thank you Photobucket!
So here is a selection in stock book pages.
During WWI and WWII Switzerland was famously neutral. However, its army was mobilised to defend and protect its borders. The soldiers were allowed free postage for letters home and stamps were produced for the mail. During WWII it started to get out of hand. It seems every regiment, brigade, platoon, squad, corps or whatever had their own stamps. Too many to collect them all.
