The cachet, produced by Technical Cachets, features a black-and-white photographic-style illustration of a large naval or anti-aircraft gun with crew members visible, commemorating World War Two 1939-1945. The 29-cent USA stamp depicts a military medic in olive drab uniform treating a wounded soldier, captioned 'Military medics treat the wounded, 1943.' The circular hand-applied postmark reads Washington, DC, May 31, 1993, ZIP 20066, with a 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' machine slug cancel in black.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
