EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished image of Field Marshal Radomir Putnik, a pivotal figure in Serbian military history. Born in 1847, Putnik rose through the ranks to become the Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Army, serving with great distinction in the Balkan Wars from 1876 onwards, and later leading the Serbian forces during the First World War. Seen here in his full dress uniform, Putnik's elderly yet commanding presence is evident. His uniform is adorned with an impressive array of medals, each one a testament to his bravery and accomplishments on the battlefield. The epaulettes on his shoulders bear the insignia of his high rank as a field marshal. Putnik's military career spanned over four decades, during which he played a crucial role in defending Serbia's borders and expanding its territories. His strategic prowess and unwavering dedication to his country earned him the title of "Vojvoda," or prince, among his people. This photograph, taken circa 1914-1917, provides a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country and the protection of its people. Radomir Putnik's legacy as a military leader continues to inspire generations of Serbian soldiers and citizens, and his image remains an enduring symbol of Serbian military history and national pride.
