1918 overprints, printer's approval folders containing 1k orange, imperforate strip of five, each stamp with a different unaccepted overprint including "Poczta Okupacyjna Polska" (this alone is catalogued in Fischer 100,000zl - $23,050), also "accepted", but certainly different overprint on imperforate 1k single (unissued, Fi.15,000zl), plus the complete set of 19 issued stamps printed in Bobruisk and in the Citadel, with printing quantities indicated, as well as the various military postmarks used for the Corps, additionally dated and counter-signed by the commanding Gen.Dowbor-Mosnicki, v.f. A unique rarity (Dowbor-Mosnicki was born to medieval Polish nobility. In 1884 he joined the Russian military and graduated from the 2nd Konstantin Military School and studied at the General Staff Academy and graduated in 1902. He served in Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War as a staff officer with the First Siberian Corps and was appointed a senior staff adjutant with the 7th Infantry Division. During World War I, he was temporarily put in charge of the staff of the Russian 1st Army on January 17, 1917, five weeks before the February Revolution that overthrew Tsar Nicholas II. Among the Poles living within the Russian Empire, roughly 700,000 of them were serving in the Russian military and they began forming a Polish army to fight for a "united and free Poland". In August, Dowbor-Mosnicki was appointed commander of the newly formed Polish 1st Corps in Russia. He was able to take advantage of the new government's weakness, to form three divisions in Belarus by January 1918. In May 1918, Dowbor-Mosnicki was forced to sign an agreement with Germany that led to the disarmament and effective dissolution of the Corps by July 1918, at which point he moved to Poland. The agreement was criticized by some pro-independence Polish politicians, but it preserved the core of the Polish military, which proved decisive later that year) (Image) (image 1241a)
