The story these images tell is one of endurance, perseverance and survival, and there is beauty and grace even in war. Anyone of Serbian heritage today can be very proud of the stock from which they came. What these Serbians had in them in the years 1912 thru 1916, a period of time during which they were engaged in the two Balkan Wars and the First World War, is amazing. These Serbs - the leaders, the soldiers and the civilians, exemplify what the human spirit is capable of in the most difficult of circumstances.
