OT: Serbian army query

[rhlv]

I know this is a Bulgarian site, but is anyone here reasonably competent in information about the Serb army in World War I? Can't find a Serb site to ask a question about the army in WWI.

Try here as well:

Be warned though - these guys are kind of extreme....

Thanks Dibo.
Have seen the vojska net site and it is so oriented to World War II that the World War I info is useless and the people there don't answer questions on WWI. As for something called "White Nationalist" that supports KKK leader David Duke, think I'll pass. Thanks anyway for the info.
Best wishes,
Rich

With a little help of the friends

You can scrap that "Vojska" site... this is some Bosnian-Croatian pro-Nazi propaganda... :nut:

Unfortunately, there is no good Serbian site considering WWI... only fragments on some places. :shrug:

If you need some concrete info, I'll be glad to help.

Thanks for the offer of help. I have just sent you a private email (the kind that shows up at the top of this page on the right side) detailing what I need and giving a personal email address. That way we don't clutter up this site with off topic stuff.
Thanks again,
Rich

Guys, by no means this should be considered as an offtopic. Personally I'm really glad that The Edge writes here and provides us with some info about the serbian army (those pages from their military encyclopаedia abou the Serbo-Turkish war, were really interesting). I've been always curious to find out how the things look like from the "other site". So if this is not bothering you, you guys can post here the info you have.
Please

I've corresponded with The Edge privately and told him what I needed and he's working on it (and a big Thank You to him for taking the task). So everyone knows, the project that involves the Bulgars (as stated above on the Bulgarian army in WWI thread) also involves the Serbs. Am looking for information on the men commanidng the following 8 Serb divisions in World War I:
From the initial mobilization:
Timok II
Morava I
Sumadija I
Sumadija II
From the refitted, reorganized army after Corfu:
Timok
Vardar
Sumadija
and the Cavalry Division which existed for the entire period of the war.
And help appreciated and greatfully accepted.
Thanks,
Rich

This is an OOB from autumn 1915, before German-Austrian attack. (As you can see, bigger - and better - part of Army is located towards Bulgaria)

Ужичка brigade - named after Ужице,town in Western Serbia.

Btw, Подримски detachment (second one guarding border with Albania), named after Дрим, river separating Serbia (now Maccedonia) and Albania.
