EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the First World War, this poignant photograph captures the plight of Serbian refugees during their arduous retreat through the muddy terrain of Macedonia in 1915. The image portrays a group of civilians, mostly women and children, trudging along a wet and muddy road, their faces etched with exhaustion and despair. Oxen, hitched to carts, struggle to pull the heavy loads, adding to the sense of discomfort and hardship. The retreat was a result of the disastrous Battle of Kosovo Polje, where the Serbian army suffered heavy losses against the invading Austro-Hungarian forces. Thousands of civilians were forced to flee their homes, braving the harsh elements and the perils of the road to seek safety and shelter in neighboring countries. The scene is a stark reminder of the human cost of war, with the refugees enduring the physical and emotional toll of displacement, hunger, and the harsh conditions of the retreat. The photograph is a testament to their resilience and determination to survive against all odds. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the enduring human spirit that prevails even in the most challenging of circumstances.
