LA JOURNÉE SERBE
25 JUIN 1916
ANNIVERSAIRE DE LA BATAILLE DE KOSSOVO
DEVAMBEZ Gr. PARIS
[Serbian Day. 25 June 1916. Anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo.]
Between October and December 1915 Serbia was occupied by an Austro-Hungarian force, supported by German and Bulgarian
troops. Fouqueray's poster appeals for help for Serbian refugees who had crossed into Albania and Corfu. Serbia Day was the anniversary
of the Battle of Kosovo on 25 June 1389, after which Serbia was ruled by the Ottoman Turks until 1878.
The scene depicted is very similar to PST 11085. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | civilian suffering surrender / retreat WW1 French Home Front Landscape Architecture Refugees military suffering France Military Personnel wounded / disabled Home Front Charities events / anniversaries First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez Imprimerie, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
