The Sandjak (district) of Alexandretta, formerly part of Syria, was detached in April 1938 and administered by the French, pending a decision on its future.
Syrian stamps were overprinted ‘Sandjak d’Alexandrette’ and issued between April and December 1938.
Following a decision of the League of Nations, Alexandrette was ceded to Turkey.
