EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of the soldiers involved in the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885. The image shows a Bulgarian battery, complete with cannon, being dragged by horses up the heights of Pregladista above Tsaribrod. The date is November 25th, and the Battle of Tsaribrod is imminent. The Serbo-Bulgarian War lasted only two weeks, from November 14th to 28th, and was initiated by Serbia in response to the recent unification of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. Despite Serbian protests, the Bulgarian forces were better prepared and more determined, resulting in a decisive Bulgarian victory. The soldiers in this photograph embody the courage and resilience required to withstand the rigors of war. The cannon, a symbol of power and defense, is a testament to the military might of both sides. The rugged terrain of Pregladista adds to the sense of drama and tension, as the soldiers and their horses labor to reach their position. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict.
