Very good documentry on Serbia during WW1. I liked how they read out some of the first hand accounts of the soldiers and civilians. The Austrian soldiers statements retreating from Cer mountain made me smile "We have arrived at the Serbian artillery practice area"

Scanned pages about the first battle against Austria in WW1. Very detailed when talking about the battle. Some very nasty stuff like Austro-Hungarians using Serb women as human shields while attacking our frontlines.. www.speedyshare.com/659154879.html

^ WW1 Serbian Soldier is a junak, let me elaborate.
1. WW1 Serbian Soldier can kill two stones with one bird. 2. WW1 Serbian Soldier counted to infinity - twice. 3. WW1 Serbian Soldier doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is. 4. WW1 Serbian Soldier doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. 5. If you have five dollars and WW1 Serbian Soldier has five dollars, WW1 Serbian Soldier has more money than you.
Jel tako? Tako je!

Just a question.
Had the naming of the Serb divisions of the 3 Serb armies in WWI the obvious meaning (e.g. Sumadijska Division was comprised by men from Sumadija, Drina Division from Bosna, Vardar division from around Skoplje, etc)? Or was the naming completely arbitrary?

Yeh a Bosnian Serb assassinated the Austrian archduke. It has been said many times (on these forums aswell) that the Serbian government was behind it. Austria had already "set its war machinery in motion" while not expecting Serbia to accept all its terms. it was Austria who really wanted the war, Serbia on the other hand was in no position to have one even if it wanted to, especially after just coming out of 2 balkan wars.

"Now, when we return to England, we shall, at any rate, be in a position to declare that we found one Balkan race, the Serbs, to consist of the best of fellows. Our companies have had Serbs attached to them, as guards or drivers, and very sorry we were when they were withdrawn. Though most of us could not say anything to them except 'Dobro' (‘Good’), we managed to understand them, and to make ourselves understood. They were always cheerful, kindly, helpful, with a skill in many handicrafts that made camp-life more comfortable for themselves and us. And I think we may flatter ourselves that they liked us and our ways, and found the British character sympathetic with their own."
- R. G. D. Laffan
From such experiences a judgment can be formed; I permit myself, with the Serbians, to believe in a Serbia great and flourishing in the future, pursuing her national development and ideals in peace and quietness, bound to Great Britain in the closest ties of friendship, and once more — as for centuries past — holding the gate of freedom of life, of freedom of thought, against the sinister forces of moral enslavement.
Serbia has indeed well and bravely answered the great question He asked: 'What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'"
Admiral Sir Ernest Charles Thomas Troubridge 1918
