BalkanCollector Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Remarkable items! It's strange to see a 100 year old bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 A beautiful story about that particular bread can be read HERE."There are many testimonies that confirm the huge respect that bread enjoys among the Serb people, as the protector of life in a higher sense. To this day, there is the story of private Aleksa Zdravkovic from Pirot, participant in all three wars from 1912 to 1918, who took his mother’s advice to heart and spent eight years carrying his first portion of bread as the lucky charm. During the long years of soldiering, Aleksa believed that the ration of tain and strong will of his mother offered him protection. The tain of Aleksa Zdravkovic is kept to this day in the Museum of Ponisavlje in Pirot as a symbol of endurance and resilience, not just of one man, but of the entire Serbian people."

BalkanCollector Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Beautiful story indeed! That bread must have been hard as a rock since it didn't break during combat. It must have been a real pain to carry it around for eight years, not to mention the combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paja Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Photos from the exhibition "Treasury of Military Museum". As you can see the exhibition was supposed to be open until 26th September. When I went the last day to see the exhibition and make some photos the doors were locked. I went inside the museum to see if someone can let me in and that's when I was told: "We decided to close the exhibition earlier, we already started packing everything." Really unbelievable! Photo album from 1872, a gift to prince Milan from his officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
