An Imperial Austrian First War Cap Badge for Lovćen (Montenegro)

Badge in die stamped steel (magnetic), commemorating Austrian victory in Montenegro.

Footnote: Mount Lovćenwas the key defensive position of the Montenegrin army, who defended it as a citadel with roughly 2/3 of its forces. The Austrian-Hungarians, under Croatian general Stjepan Sarkotić, gathered large quantities of heavy artillery in Kotor, supported by ships artillery from the Austro-Hungarian Navy. On 8 January the attack began with a massive artillery bombardment. The Montenegrins lacked everything: guns, ammunition, food and shelter. On 11 January, Mount Lovcen was in Austrian hands. In the meantime, two independent brigades under Feldmarschalleutnant Braun advanced towards Nikšić, covering the left flank and threatening to cut off the Montenegrins from the north-east. On 13 January 1916, the vanguard of the Austrian army reached the capital Cetinje.
