Sur les deux routes de la retraite Serbe; A travers l'Albanie - passage à gué du Drin... 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph by Russian-born French artist R. Marianovitch, capturing a moment during the Serbian Campaign of World War I. The image, published in "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," depicts a group of weary soldiers crossing the Drin River in Albania during the Serbian retreat. The defeat of the Serbian Army in late 1915 forced thousands of soldiers to flee their homeland and seek refuge in Albania and Montenegro. The harsh winter conditions added to their suffering, making the journey even more perilous. In this photograph, we see a determined group of men, bundled up against the cold, making their way across the icy river. The snow-covered banks and barren trees in the background underscore the desolation and isolation of their situation. The soldiers, some carrying rifles and others dragging supplies, are focused on their mission, their faces set with determination. The photograph is a testament to their resilience and their unwavering commitment to their cause, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. The passage at the Drin River marked a significant point in the Serbian retreat, as it was one of the last major obstacles before reaching the safety of the Albanian mountains. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime and the indomitable human spirit that carries us through even the most difficult of circumstances. R. Marianovitch's photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time during one of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century. It offers a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers during the Serbian Campaign and the challenges they faced during their retreat through Albania.
