La Journée Serbe 25 juin 1916. Anniversaire de la bataille de Kossov

Serbian civilians and military personnel crossing the River Drina in what is now Yugoslavia.

King Peter is being transported across the bridge.

The Battle of Kossovo was the last battle lost by the Serbians before they were forced to migrate

into the Albanian mountains for the winter.

Thousands died that winter from the horrible conditions and lack of food.

Kossovo was also significant because that is where the Serbians lost

an equally important battle in 1389.
