EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh winter of 1915, during the First World War, the plight of Serbian troops retreating through Albania was a heart-wrenching sight. In this poignant image, a Serbian soldier, weary from the long and arduous journey, carries a small child on his back as his comrades trudge through the snow-covered Montenegrin and Albanian mountains. The retreat was a desperate attempt to escape the advancing Austro-Hungarian and German forces, who had invaded Serbia in November 1915. The conditions were brutal, with freezing temperatures, scarce food supplies, and constant attacks from enemy forces. The retreat through the mountains claimed the lives of an estimated twenty thousand children, many of whom were unable to keep up with their families and soldiers. The soldiers themselves faced immense hardships, with many succumbing to frostbite, exhaustion, and starvation. The image captures the raw emotion and desperation of the situation, with the soldier's determined expression and the child's trusting gaze. It serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the Great War. The retreat through Albania marked a dark chapter in Serbian history, but it also symbolized the resilience and determination of the Serbian people in the face of adversity.
