Légende

'The Terrible Retreat from Serbia', (1919). The Serbian army's 1915 retreat through the mountains of Albania during the First World War: 'The last stand of the Serbian Army was at Prizrend, where after five days of bloody battle the Serbians, spiking their guns, fled through the narrow defiles and mountain passes toward Albania. Disaster followed upon disaster, the retreating remnants of a nation suffering agonies indescribable in their flight.' Some 240,000 died from cold, starvation, disease, and attacks by Albanian tribesmen. From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. VI, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight.
