EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of intense historical significance - the Serbian Dragoon regiment in the Battle of Borenitza during October 1916. The image shows the brave soldiers riding to repel an attack by the Bulgarian army, showcasing their determination and courage in the face of adversity.
The Serbian army had initially successfully resisted invasion by the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the war. However, a combined offensive by the Central Powers, including newly allied Bulgaria, forced them into exile in neighbouring Albania in December 1915. This photograph symbolizes their continued fight for freedom and independence against overwhelming odds.
The Allied army based in Salonika played a crucial role in supporting Serbia during this tumultuous time, with Greek port serving as a strategic location for military operations. The resilience and bravery displayed by these Serbian dragoons are truly inspiring, highlighting their unwavering commitment to defending their homeland.
As we reflect on this pivotal moment in history, let us remember and honor all those who sacrificed so much for their country. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of standing united against tyranny and oppression.
