In the French part there are only a few spelling errors that were corrected in the second edition. Malmédy and Péronnes were initially published with an 'e' instead of an 'é', Chimay was published as Chimai and Charneux was published as Charmeux. Also, the first 16 stamps of the province of Liège show the name of the province as Liège, the second half shows the name as Liége. The second edition of the stamps only shows Liége. | In the French part there are only a few spelling errors that were corrected in the second edition.
