1917 Austro Hungarian Military Post Overprinted "K. U. K. MILIT. VERWALTUNG MONTENEGRO"
About this issue
The Austro-Hungarian army attacked Montenegro on 6 January 1916 and in less than three weeks the country capitulated; King Nikola I went into exile. The occupied land was run by a military general government, and from 1 March 1917 two field-post stamps – 10 and 15 heller – overprinted 'K.U.K. MILIT. VERWALTUNG MONTENEGRO' were sold there. Holding the mountainous country took over 40,000 troops, twice as many as in Serbia.
