Albania Cold Defeat Retreat Retreating Serbian Serbians Wagons War Time Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh winter of 1915, the Serbian army, having suffered a devastating defeat against the Central Powers during the First World War, embarked on a perilous retreat through the snow-covered mountains and hills of Albania. In this poignant image, weary and bedraggled soldiers, many carrying their belongings and wounded comrades, trudge through the deep drifts, their faces etched with exhaustion and determination. The cacophony of clanking wagons and hooves on ice fill the air as the makeshift convoy moves slowly but steadily towards the relative safety of Albania. The Great War, with its brutal conditions and unrelenting hardships, had taken a heavy toll on the Serbian army. The retreat through the snow-covered terrain added an extra layer of difficulty, with the biting cold and treacherous footing threatening to claim more lives. Yet, the soldiers pressed on, their spirits buoyed by the hope of reaching the safety of neutral Albania and regrouping for a future offensive. This powerful photograph captures the raw essence of war time resilience and the indomitable human spirit. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Serbian army during the First World War and the unwavering determination to survive against all odds.
