Serbian Soldier

Serbian infantry fought in the Balkan Wars and then the First World War against Austria-Hungary and other Central Powers. After the 1915 invasion, the army retreated through Albania and was reorganized with Allied support. It later fought on the Salonika front. Reorganization brought changes in weapons, uniforms, and supporting equipment across the army’s successive wartime campaigns.

Serbian victories at Cer and Kolubara in 1914 frustrated Austria-Hungary’s initial invasion attempts. In 1915, attacks by Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Bulgaria overwhelmed the country’s strategic position. The retreat to the Adriatic caused enormous losses before survivors were evacuated and refitted. Reorganized troops returned to action from the Allied base around Salonika. Their participation in the 1918 breakthrough contributed to the liberation of Serbia and the collapse of Central Powers positions in the Balkans.
