1. Title: The Serbs Retreat Before The Austrian Attack: British Nurses Retreat with the Serbian Army (1915) 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War as British nurses retreat with the Serbian army in 1915. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the Balkan campaign, these dedicated women, clad in their distinctive uniforms, provide a sense of calm and compassion in the midst of the retreat. 3. Background: The First World War saw the involvement of various European powers, including the United Kingdom and Serbia. In 1915, the Serbian army was under heavy pressure from the advancing Austro-Hungarian forces. As the situation grew increasingly dire, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was sent to reinforce the Serbian troops. Nurses from the British Red Cross and the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) were among those who accompanied the BEF, providing essential medical care to the wounded soldiers. 4. Scene: In this photograph, we see a group of British nurses, some carrying medical supplies and others helping to evacuate wounded soldiers, as they make their way through a muddy landscape with the Serbian army in retreat. The soldiers, many of them injured, are seen in the background, their faces etched with exhaustion and determination. The scene is one of haste and urgency, as the group attempts to escape the advancing Austrian forces. 5. Impact: This powerful image serves as a reminder of the crucial role that nurses played during the First World War, particularly in the Balkans campaign. Despite the danger and uncertainty, these women put their lives on the line to provide care and support to the wounded soldiers, often under the most challenging of conditions. The photograph also underscores the international nature of the conflict and the importance of unity and cooperation between different nations in times of crisis.
