Out intrepid Mr Paton has made it all the way from Užice through Požega to Čačak and on to Karanovac.

Unsurprisingly, he wasn't enamoured with the long church services (where the congregation stands) of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

The joys of random #history papers...

On the other hand, these kinds of things are great to find new materials to read by combing the references and #bibliography.

A wooden log to the collective teeth is certainly an interesting suggestion for foreign policy.

Oh, Užice, you little Constantinople!

Or at least it was before the visit of Mr Paton.

OTD in 1918:

Proclamation

Based on the orders of the highest German command in Belgrade it is proclaimed that in the case of the German or I. and R. Austro-Hungarian military units (troops) in Belgrade or in the suburbs being shot at or other hostile action initiated by the civilians, the pre-aimed batteries will in such a case immediately start shelling the town and set it ablaze.

I. and R. Military police commandant

Austria-Hungary off on another "civilising mission" in the Balkans. What could possibly go wrong?

The accompanying letter to the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to #Serbia from 23.07.1914. A lovely bit of diplomatic obfuscation.

Shame they had to blow up the Soko fortress later.
