Typical Group of the Servian Artillery, (1919). Creator: Unknown
Typical Group of the Servian Artillery, (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: Despite their rough and uncouth exterior, despite the bloody tragedies that marked their history, the Servian [Serbian] officer is polished in manners, courteous and accomplished, often speaking several languages. He has also the simple piety of the true Slav, and is far removed from the commonly accepted notion that he is one of a nation of cut-throats. From " The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. I, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Typical Group of the Servian Artillery, (1919)", we catch a glimpse of the Serbian officers during the tumultuous years of the First World War. Despite their rugged appearance and the tragic events that have marked their history, these officers exude an unexpected refinement. Polished in manners, courteous, and accomplished, they defy stereotypes with their ability to speak multiple languages fluently. The image also reveals another facet of these Serbian officers - their simple piety rooted in Slavic traditions. Far from being perceived as cut-throats, they embody the true essence of Slav culture. This photograph challenges commonly held notions about them and invites us to reconsider our preconceived ideas. Taken from W. Stanley Macbean Knight's book "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in 1919, this snapshot captures a moment frozen in time amidst one of humanity's most devastating conflicts. As we gaze upon these men dressed in military attire with heavy artillery guns at hand, we are reminded not only of their role as soldiers but also as representatives of a nation fighting for its survival. The unknown creator behind this powerful image has immortalized a group that embodies resilience and determination amidst chaos. This print serves as a poignant reminder that appearances can be deceiving; it is through understanding each other's complexities that we can truly appreciate our shared humanity even within times of war.
