Postage stamps of Bushire under British occupation

Bushehr or Bushire is a city on the southwestern coast of Iran, on the Persian Gulf.

It was occupied again by the British in 1915, the second time due to German intrigue, most notably by Wilhelm Wassmuss and Rais Ali Delvari.

The occupation lasted from 8 August to 16 October, when it was terminated by agreement with the Persian government.

The same overprint was applied in September, to the series of Persian stamps issued in 1915.

All of these overprints are uncommon, the cheapest costing US$25 and the rarer varieties ranging up to US$6,000.
