EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and camaraderie among Bulgarian soldiers during the brief but intense Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885. The scene is set at a Bulgarian outpost near Hermanli in Eastern Rumelia, a region that had recently united with Bulgaria, sparking Serbia's protest and military intervention. The Serbian forces, despite initial successes, were ultimately defeated in this two-week conflict. In the image, five Bulgarian soldiers sit in a circle, their uniforms neatly pressed and adorned with insignia, as they share a meal and drink from a communal flask. Their expressions suggest a sense of unity and solidarity, despite the hardships and dangers of war. The military scene is set against the backdrop of a rugged, rocky landscape, with the sun casting long shadows and adding a sense of drama to the image. The Serbo-Bulgarian War marked a significant moment in the history of the Balkans, with Bulgaria asserting its independence and territorial claims against its neighbor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers involved in this pivotal moment in history, and the bonds of brotherhood that sustained them through the challenges of war.
