EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885, as Bulgarian forces prepare for cavalry maneuvers under the watchful eye of Prince Alexander I at Mala Tirnova. The scene is one of tense anticipation, with soldiers taking cover behind lines of horses, their guns pointed outward, ready to engage the enemy. The Serbo-Bulgarian War, which lasted just two weeks from November 14th to 28th, was initiated by Serbia in protest of Bulgaria's unification with Eastern Rumelia. Despite Serbia's initial advantage, the Bulgarian forces, bolstered by the support of Russia, proved decisively victorious. This image offers a rare glimpse into the raw power and strategy of the cavalry units that played a crucial role in the outcome of the conflict. The horses, too, are central to the scene, their strength and agility a testament to the importance of these animals in warfare during this era.
