EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "On the Albanian Coast, Saint-Jean-De-Medua; Serbian Troops on the Beach," is a poignant photograph taken by Samson Tchernoff in 1916. This image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of the First World War, specifically the Serbian Campaign. The photograph depicts a group of weary Serbian soldiers, huddled together on the pebbled beach of Saint-Jean-De-Medua in Albania. Their expressions convey a mix of exhaustion, determination, and despair. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen resting on their equipment, some with their heads down, others staring out at the vast expanse of water before them. The background of the photograph reveals a rocky, barren coastline, with the blue-gray waves crashing against the shore. The desolate landscape and the soldiers' worn expressions suggest that they have been through a long and arduous journey. The title of the photograph, "The Great Retreat," further emphasizes the sense of defeat and retreat that is palpable in the image. Samson Tchernoff captured this photograph as part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" for the French publication "L'Illustration." The image was published in the tome CXLVII, under the section "La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916." Tchernoff's photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of the First World War, offering a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the frontlines. The photograph is a powerful testament to the human spirit, showcasing the resilience and determination of the Serbian soldiers, even in the face of defeat. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the indelible impact it had on the world.
