La Tragedie Serbe; L'atat-major general serbe, en retraite a travers l'Albanie
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Serbian Tragedy; The Serbian Retired General Passes the White Drin in Albania) is a poignant photograph from the First World War era, taken in 1916. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916" (The War Illustrated Volume CXLVII. The War January, February, March, April, May, June 1916), captures a somber moment in the Serbian Campaign during World War I. The photograph depicts a group of soldiers carrying an elderly man on a palanquin, or sedan chair, across a bridge. The man, identified as the Serbian Generalissime Putnik, is shown in the lead position, with his chair being carried by several soldiers. The bridge they are crossing is the Pont des Vizirs, spanning the White Drin River in Albania. The image is a powerful representation of the Serbian retreat during the First World War. The Serbian Army was in a state of defeat and in disarray, and many soldiers and civilians were forced to flee their homeland. The photograph captures the sense of exhaustion and despair that must have been felt by the Serbian people during this time. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike. The image is also a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, as the soldiers continue to carry their general, despite the challenges they face. The photograph is a valuable historical record of the events of the First World War and the Serbian Campaign in particular. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image.
