EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in World War I history, as His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia (1888-1934) assumes command of the Serbian army at the Banjica military camp in Serbia. The image, taken circa 1914, finds the crown prince seated center stage, his sword resting on his knee, surrounded by officers and commanders. At the outbreak of the war, Alexander was the nominal supreme commander of the Serbian army, which would go on to distinguish itself in the battles at Cer and at the Drina, scoring decisive victories against invading Austro-Hungarian forces and evicting them from the country. The Serbian army's successes were a crucial turning point in the early stages of the war, and the courage and determination of its commanders, including Crown Prince Alexander, played a significant role in shaping the course of the conflict. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of great upheaval and historical significance.
