Bosnia and Herzegovina 1916 War Invalids Set

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1916 · 5h and 10h

This set of two stamps, issued by the K.u.K. Militärpost (Imperial and Royal Military Post) for Bosnia and Herzegovina, depicts scenes related to war invalids. The 5 heller stamp shows a seated soldier with a crutch, while the 10 heller stamp illustrates one soldier assisting another, highlighting the plight and support for those wounded in conflict.

Issued during World War I, these stamps reflect the Austro-Hungarian Empire's efforts to acknowledge and support its soldiers, particularly those who became invalids. They served as a reminder of the human cost of the war and likely contributed to fundraising or public awareness campaigns for war relief.
