Serbian retreat through Albania (1915–16)
On the WWI map as “The Serbian retreat”
Nov 1915-Feb 1916 — Rather than surrender, Serbia’s army, king and tens of thousands of civilians walk over the Albanian mountains in winter to the sea. Perhaps 77,000 soldiers and countless civilians die of cold, hunger and typhus on the march. Remember.
