Eight Iconic Photographs of World War I in Serbia

This article showcases eight important photographs that illustrate Serbia's experience during World War I, a conflict that resulted in the loss of nearly one-third of its pre-war population, with two out of three Serbian men dying. Among the notable images is 'Hawkeye' (Oko sokolovo) by Samson Černov, portraying scout Dragutin Matić in 1914, who only learned of his fame in 1965. Rista Marjanović documented the Serbian high command crossing Vizier's Bridge in Albania during the Great Retreat of 1915. Another image features King Peter I observing the battlefield on November 17, 1914. The article also highlights Milunka Savić, the most decorated female soldier, and Momčilo Gavrić, the youngest soldier, while discussing negative propaganda and the Austro-Hungarian river monitor Bodrog.
