EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined spirit of Commandant Mabel Anne Stobart Greenhalgh, also known as Mrs. Stobart, as she led a column of Serbian orderlies on horseback during the retreat from the Serbian front line on November 22, 1915. Mrs. Stobart, a British woman and a prominent member of the Women's National Service League, had traveled to Serbia on behalf of the Serbian Relief Fund to establish a flying field hospital to care for wounded soldiers. As the situation on the front line worsened, Mrs. Stobart and her team were forced to retreat towards Pec (Petch), a town in southern Serbia. In this image, we see Mrs. Stobart, dressed in a long coat and hat, riding confidently at the head of the column, with Serbian orderlies following closely behind on horseback. The rugged terrain and harsh winter conditions are evident in the background, with bare trees and snow-covered ground. Despite the challenges they faced, Mrs. Stobart and her team remained committed to their mission, providing essential medical care and support to the Serbian soldiers as they retreated. This photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of Mrs. Stobart and the Serbian orderlies, who bravely faced the hardships of war and continued to serve their country in the face of adversity.
