A Journey into the Herzegovina: Organising an Ambulance Corps, 1876. 'Special envoys have been sent to Morocco and Tunis to ask for active assistance in case of need. The Servian troops are...ranged on the frontier ready to act at a moment's notice. Though the central staff have proceeded to Alexinatz, on the southern frontier, not far from the Turkish camp at Nish, the principal force is stationed on the western borders near Loanitza, where pontoon bridges are being constructed preparatory to crossing the Drina into Bosnia...General Tchernayeff, the Russian officer who has assumed a command in the Servian force...handed the Servian Government £50,000 sterling as a donation from the Slavonic Societies in Russia. This being a very large sum for societies whose income has been hitherto exceedingly small'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
