Yugoslavian stamp

Can anyone help with this Yugoslavian stamp, the basic stamp is the 1921 Disabled Soldiers' Fund, 10 + 10 red, SG 178, but have no ideas what the overprint means/is for.

From a footnote in Scott:

This overprint was applied to 500,000 examples of No. B1 in 1923 and they were given to the Society for Wounded Invalids (Uprava Ratnih Invalida) which sold them for 2d a piece. These overprinted stamps had no franking power, but some were used through ignorance.

khj, thank you very much, I've had this stamp for about 10 years and couldn't find out anything about it

All I did was copy the footnote from Scott. They get the credit. Although I admit I'm impressed with myself -- I typed that entire quote without making a single typo!

But I know where you're coming from. I've got a few stamps and pics that I've collected over the years that I still haven't found/gotten an ID/answer, yet. One these days, I should start a thread and post them. You never know when someone might have the answer!
