EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken by Paul Thompson during the First Balkan War in 1913, Bulgarian infantrymen are captured in action as they carry out manoeuvres in Belgrade. The soldiers are dressed in their winter kit, bundled up to protect themselves from the harsh weather conditions. The image showcases a large group of men standing together in a rural setting, forming a powerful line that stretches across the frame. Each soldier holds his rifle with determination and pride, ready to defend their homeland against the Ottoman Empire of Turkey. The sepia tone adds an air of nostalgia and historical significance to the scene, transporting viewers back to a pivotal moment in time when tensions ran high on the Balkan Peninsula. This conflict marked an important chapter in European history as it saw the formation of alliances between various Balkan countries known as the Balkan League. Paul Thompson's masterful composition captures both the individuality and unity among these brave Bulgarian soldiers. Their stoic expressions reveal their unwavering dedication to duty amidst challenging circumstances. This print serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period, shedding light on one aspect of human resilience and sacrifice during times of war.
