EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First World War. Taken in 1916, it showcases Bulgarian soldiers engaged in an unusual task - fishing for guns in the river at Nish (or Niš), Serbia. The scene unfolds after the Serb evacuation, revealing the aftermath of conflict and shedding light on the realities faced by soldiers during wartime. The image portrays a bridge spanning over a great river, serving as a backdrop to this extraordinary sight. With their uniforms and military gear, these brave soldiers can be seen diligently casting their lines into the water, hoping to retrieve weapons that were discarded or lost during battle. This unique method of "fishing" for guns underscores both resourcefulness and necessity amidst war-torn landscapes. Published in 1934 as part of "The Pageant of the Century" this archival photograph offers us a glimpse into one chapter of human resilience amid adversity. It serves as a reminder not only of the horrors endured but also highlights moments when individuals adapt and find solutions even under challenging circumstances. As we delve into this historical snapshot from Welsh Ken's collection, we are transported back to an era defined by global conflict and immense sacrifice. Through this evocative image, we gain insight into how wars shape nations while appreciating those who fought bravely on foreign soil to secure peace for future generations.
