The truly beautiful pictures here are stills from
historical film material of British Pathé. This is the accompanying text:
"Serbian cattle and sheep arrive at Chevgen. Serbia .
Herd of sheep; goats (sturdy mountain type animals)
coming up middle of street; soldiers (perhaps Serbian; walk on sidewalk by
single-story houses Closer shot of cattle approaching on street; driven by 2
shepherd boys in rear; waving sticks; wearing berets."
And of course, it is very interesting to see these berets
in Serbia
during WWI. The soldier (officer) in the first pictures could be a French
Chasseur Alpin (but what was he doing there..?), but the shepherd boy on the
last picture won't be French - still he wears a beret.
Interesting.
