JUST AFTER 11am on St Valentine's Day, a long procession of official cars will wind its way through the main street of the Serbian town of Kragujevac towards the city cemetery.

At the gate the occupants will disembark and make their way towards one of the snow-covered graves to pay their respects. The grave is distinctive not only because it marks the resting place of three young women, but because some of the words on it are in English. On the largest, the headstone reads 'Here lies Dr Elizabeth Ross'. Underneath in Serbian, it says: 'They gave their hearts to the people of Serbia'.

In 1915 Ross, a doctor from Tain and one of the first women in Scotland to gain a medical degree, died of typhus in a military hospital in Kragujevac, where she had been treating Serb First World War casualties. Yet today, her name in Serbia is a byword for courage and bravery, emblazoned upon street signs, taught to schoolchildren, and celebrated every 14 February – the anniversary of her death – in numerous similar ceremonies across Serbia.

"She sacrificed herself for them," says Louise Miller, a writer who has extensively researched Ross's life, and those of other women like her who chose to travel to the frontline from Britain during the First World War. "The Serbs just think that a sacrifice like that is worth remembering."

Ross was born in Tain in 1878 into a progressive, adventurous family. Her father was a banker and her brother, David, worked for many years in Japan with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. She had four sisters, one of whom was a professor of maths and science who spent many years in India, another who was a secretary for an explosives company in Glasgow, and a third who was also a qualified doctor, working in York. The fourth became a farmer.

Ross's 86-year-old niece Edith Ross, who lives quietly in Tain surrounded by the memories of her extraordinary family, says they were remarkably modern for the times.

"Elizabeth's parents were very broadminded," she says. "They believed in women having the same chance of education as men. My mother, who ran a poultry farm, was the only one of the women in the family to get married. The rest were very focused on their careers."

After school, Ross went to Queen Margaret College in Glasgow to study medicine. She graduated in 1901, one of the first women in the country to do so.

"She was pioneering in that respect because you had to be incredibly strong-willed to get a medical degree at the time if you were a woman," says Miller. "Women weren't permitted access to clinical studies, they were segregated from the men, and a lot of the teachers didn't even believe they should be taught in the first place."

After her graduation, Ross worked briefly as a doctor in Tain, before becoming the medical officer for the island of Colonsay. But her family's adventurous spirit clearly ran in her veins, and she was soon on her way to Persia – now Iran – where she worked as an assistant to an Armenian physician. While there she spent time in the Iranian mountains working with the powerful Bakhtiara tribe, who were so impressed with her they made her a chieftainess. Edith still has a photograph of her aunt dressed in the traditional ceremonial dress, smoking a long hookah.

"Part of her job was to be a doctor to a harem of women," says Edith with a giggle. "She really liked the women and they just adored her."

Returning to Scotland for a break, Ross caught sight of a newspaper advert looking for a ship's surgeon. "The ship was going to India and Japan so she applied for this post, got it, and off she went," says Edith.

She is now believed to have been the world's first female ship's surgeon, and although Ross is thought to have loved it ("She sent the family short postcards," says Edith, "she never said too much") there was something about Persia that drew her back, and she returned to work there just before the outbreak of the First World War in September 1914.

"There was a desperate need for doctors and nurses in Serbia at the outset of the war," says Miller. "The country only had 400 doctors and most of them had been allocated to the military. Serbia was the first country to be attacked by Austro-Hungary and the hospitals were full of wounded Serbians and Austro-Hungarians. It was an absolutely desperate situation."

With other projects such as the Scottish Womens Hospitals, which were travelling to the region at the same time, just getting up and running, Ross felt she had to do what she could to help. "Elizabeth heard of the need and left Persia as soon as she could," says Miller. "She borrowed money from an old servant in order to make the trip."

When she arrived in late January 1915, she immediately volunteered to go and work in a typhus hospital in Kragujevac, rather than a Scottish Womens Hospital which had been set up not far away.

"She knew she really hadn't much of a chance of surviving because typhus was rife and they didn't know at that time what caused it," says Edith.

"The place was in a dreadful mess when she arrived and there were no nurses. They would put two single beds together and put three patients in them. Some of the nurses from the Scottish Womens Hospital came to visit her and said 'Dr Ross, I don't know how you can bear to work here', and she just said 'well, somebody's got to do it'. "

In the end, she survived less than three weeks. "She was probably bitten by one of the women she walked onto the ward," says Miller.

Ross died on 14 February 1915. She was 37 years old. For many years, she was remembered quietly, both by her family and by those in Serbia whom she had helped. Then, in 1977, the local Red Cross in Kragujevac was given some money, and decided to use it to restore Ross's grave. She is buried next to two British nurses who also died in Serbia of typhus, Mabel Dearmer and Lorna Ferriss. Altogether, 22 British women lost their lives to typhus in Serbia during the First World War, attempting to aid wounded soldiers.

In the early 1980s, after the graves had been restored, the town started holding commemorations at the graveside, and over the years they began to gather momentum, attracting bigger crowds, and becoming an important date in the town's calendar. Meanwhile similar celebrations started to spring up across Serbia.

"What is really quite remarkable is that even during the NATO bombings they continued doing it, and it just got bigger and bigger," says Miller. The ceremony now attracts hundreds every year, including a wealth of local dignitaries. The youth movement of the local Red Cross is now the Dr Elizabeth Ross Society, and every year its members attend the ceremony wearing T-shirts with Ross's graduation picture emblazoned on the front. Elsewhere in the town there is even an Elizabeth Ross Street. It is a remarkable canonisation for a woman who felt she was just doing her job.

"The Serbs admire her for her remarkable courage," says Miller. "She went into this military hospital to take over six typhus wards in the full knowledge that she would probably die just a few weeks later. The majority of people in Serbia have had a really tough time of it and Elizabeth's story is a thread that links them to their remarkable history. And it's a history they hope for as well – working hand in hand with their allies."

This 14 February, before the Orthodox priest starts to chant and sprinkle incense over the grave, and a poignant reading of the Lord's Prayer – in English – is given, Miller will give a talk at the ceremony about Ross, and the other women who came to the frontline to treat wounded Serbs. "It's one of these things I think will just continue to get bigger," she says. "These ceremonies happen across Serbia, this is just the biggest one."

Meanwhile, Edith, who is now too old too travel to Serbia, will be at home in Tain. She has created an album of pictures and writings about Ross, and often flips through it.

"She was exceptionally intelligent and very, very brave," says Edith. "She had a real sense of adventure."

Recently, some of the Serbs responsible for the ceremony commemorating her famous aunt asked Edith if she wanted to attend the celebrations.

She laughs. "I said no. I had to explain I wasn't quite as brave as my Aunt Elizabeth."

Heroic Serbia, 1916. 
‘from the French of Victor Bernard’, Piccadilly

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Grey Carter

Everyone  interested in real history, (not the most available one and usually forged on Wikipedia), and not  in the messed up and written by politically correct mythomaniacal  scribomans, can still find her in old ancient books. 
Before staged massacres, false chemical attacks and NWO globalism and global greed, history was considered as something almost sacred and historians were the most prominent and respected people of their time.  

The book titled ‘Heroic Serbia’ by Victor Berard explains several issues which were commonly known in 1916, but are most misunderstood today. About our language, and whether there are/ were/ have ever been anything like Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin languages; relations between Serbia ,  Krajina, Bosnia, Turkey, Dalmatia, and Montenegro,

I retyped one smaller part of the book, and at the end of the quotation there is a link so all the interested could continue reading. 

Quote: 

For  five or six centuries Serbia had never known complete independence. During the close of the Middle Ages, before the arrival of the Turks in Europe, she had been a great and prosperous state stretching from the Sava to the Adriatic.

Peopled entirely by Southern Slavs,  she was Christian and highly civilised. Thanks to her Adriatic ports, where the fleets of Venice touched, she could preserve contact with the West and especially with the Latin nations. She had intimate relations with the Italian cities and with the Kings of France and Spain.

Western influence introduced to her our ideas, fashions and arts, and Serbia still has churches erected by the ancient master-builders and decorated by the fresco painters of the West.

But in the middle of the fourteenth century the Turks of Asia Minor invaded the European provinces of the Byzantine Empire. They advanced by the valley of the Vardar into the heart of the Serbian lands, to the plain of Kosovo, “the field of the blackbirds.”  At the battle of Kosovo (1389) Serbian heroism was crushed by superior numbers; the Turks reduced the whole of Serbia, and not long afterwards Hungary, upper and lower, and the whole plain of the middle Danube to within easy distance of Vienna.

For four centuries then (1400-1804) Serbia was massacred and pillaged.
A quarter of her population was reduced to serfdom or perished by the sword, another quarter was forcibly converted to Islam, the religion of the Turks, and became Moslem, Bosniak people which still spoke the language of its ancestors, the same Slav language as the other Serbs, but which was attached by a community of religion to the service of the conquering  Turks.

A third quarter emigrated to Russia, to Italy and even to Provence, but above all to the “Military Frontiers” of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was the Southern Slav race which during four centuries furnished the House of Austria with those famous regiments which proved its best defenders against invasion from without and rebellion from within. In what had once been Serbia there only remained two groups of mountaineers, unchangeably attached to the soil and to the faith of their ancestors: the men  of the Sumadija (the forests of modern Serbia), and the men of the Black Mountain (Montenegro) , as the Latins of the Adriatic call it, Crna Gora as it is called by the Slavs themselves).

At the beginning of the nineteenth century the ideas of the French revolution  rekindled the courage and patriotism of this nation of Slavs.  .

In 1804 the Serbs were the first Balkan people to rise against the Turks, and followed the French people in its conquest of the Rights of Man.

It is interesting to note that Stephen Zivkovic, director of the insurgents’ powder magazine at Valjevo, translated into Serb the Telemaque of Fenelon.

Throughout last century an indomitable courage and patriotism, aided by Russia and France, won first autonomy and then independence for the two groups of Serbs which had always remained Christian and recalcitrant in the Sumadija and in Montenegro.

Piece by piece the remnants of their ancestral territory was delivered and divided between the two Serbian States, which became the Principalities and eventually the Kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro, with their two capitals in Belgrade and  Cetinje.

In 1912 Serbia and Montenegro were still separated from each other by the two Turkish provinces in  Kosovo and Novibazar.  The Serbs were still far from having attained their national resurrection.

To the south, and in the centre of the Great Serbia of former days, Turkey still held a million Serbs in subjection, in Macedonia and Kosovo.

To the north, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in Slavonia, in the Banat of Temesvar, in Croatia and in Dalmatia, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy  had for two centuries  taken the place of the Turks, whom the  arms of loyal Croats and Krajina Serbs had expelled from  these dependencies  of Hungary.

Austria persisted in subjecting to its bureaucracy and policeas the victims of intolerance and exploitation, five or six million of these*}South Slavs, who speak one and the same language but practice three religions.  The Croats of Croatia and Dalmatia are Roman Catholics, the Serbs  are  Orthodox, while a considerable section of the inhabitants of Bosnia- Herzegovina are Mohammedans.  But all these peoples in Austria- Hungary belong to the same branch, the Serbo-Croat, of the south Slavic /Jugo Slav  race; all speak an identical language and are one in outlook in the present as in the past.

The imperial and royal dynasty of Austria- Hungary, the House of Habsburg, which held by right of Conquest the countries of Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, had the design, publicly avowed, of adding  to  them  sooner or later the two independent  Serbian states, Serbia  and Montenegro, with the object of creating  a single Serbo-Croat Kingdom,  to be annexed to its other kingdoms of Hungary, Bohemia,Poland and Austria. The Habsburg dynasty regarded the Conquest as legitimate because the annexation of the two Serbian kingdoms seemed  to it  necessary if the Monarchy was to endure.”

After recovering in Corfu, and shorter training, 18 July 1916 The regiment left for the front. Its members were especially noted during the Gorničevo battle, when they in the center of the Serbian fighting formation, occupied the village of Gorničevo and began the pursuit of the enemy. Only in September 25, 1916 The regiment captured five Bulgarian officers and 804 soldiers and non-commissioned officers, seized four kanons, seven machine guns, 600 rifles.
From these battles were especially distinguished and celebrated the only two female carriers of Karadjordje stars with swords, who fought in the composition of the Iron Regiment Milunka Savic and Brittish Flora Sandes.


HEROINE GVOZDENOG PUKA 
Posle oporavka na Krfu, i kraće obuke, 18. jula 1916. godine puk je izašao na front. Njegovi pripadnici posebno su se istakli za vreme Gorničevske bitke, kada su u centru srpskog borbenog rasporeda, zauzeli selo Gorničevo i otpočeli gonjenje razbijenog neprijatelja. Samo 25 septembra 1916. godine puk je zarobio pet bugarskih oficira i 804 vojnika i podoficira, zaplenio četiri topa, sedam mitraljeza, 600 pušaka. U ovim borbama su se proslavile i jedine dve žene nosioci Karađorđeve zvezde sa mačevima, koje su se borile u sastavu Gvozdenog puka, Milunka Savić i Britanka Flora Sandes.

Here in its stark simplicity is laid bare the origin of some of the horrors that Serbia has had to endure. 
No other nation in the welter of the world-war, great or small, has endured so much as Serbia, and yet the proud soul of this little people without a country rides triumphant above her sorrows. 
War, Famine, Disease — the tragic triumvirate has stalked through Serbia and laid heavy hands on its people for over three years. To-day the remnants of the Serbian people number only two- thirds of the pre-war population.

These were official orders for Austro Hungarian invading army in 1914. which they obeyed (see: Report Upon The Atrocities Committed By The Austro-Hungarian Army During The First Invasion Of Serbia, available in Serbian here
http://www.scribd.com/doc/152471421/Dr-Rudolf-Arčibald-Rajs-Austrougarska-zverstva-u-Srbiji

Towards such a population all humanity and softness is highly out of place, indeed positively detrimental ….
” / therefore order that during the whole operation the greatest severity, the greatest harshness, and the greatest distrust is to prevail towards everyone
/’ ^^ Armed Serbs without uniform are simply to he shot down, and anyone who on this case shows mercy will be punished most severely.” “
/;; villages- hostages to be taken ; every house where weapons are found to be destroyed ; and if its occupants are not to be found, the next best inhabitants must supply information, and if they refuse this with obvious intention, are to be hanged. “
Everyone who is met outside their village, especially in woods, is to be looked on as nothing else save komitadjis wJw have hidden their weapons somewhere ; such people if they seem to be in any way suspicious are to be shot down.”

Austro Hungarian press: Serbia has to be destroyed

Austrian Ultimatum to Serbia, 23 July 1914

The Austro-Hungarian government waited three weeks following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand - heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne currently held by Franz Josef - before issuing its formal response.

Seizing the opportunity presented by Ferdinand's assassination (who in any event had not been viewed with any great favour, either by Franz Josef or by his government), the Austro-Hungarian government decided to settle a long-standing score with near-neighbour Serbia.

Austria-Hungary's response, following a Ministerial Council Meeting on 7 July, - its ultimatum - comprised a lengthy list of demands made upon the Serbian government.  It took as its basis an assumption that the Serbian government was implicated in events at Sarajevo.

The ultimatum was presented by the Austrian government to Belgrade on Thursday 23 July 1914 at 6 p.m.  A response was demanded within two days, by Saturday 25 July at 6 p.m.  Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, commented that he had "never before seen one State address to another independent State a document of so formidable a character."

The text of the ultimatum follows, as does the Serbian response, which virtually conceded all demands made by the Austro-Hungarians bar one or two minor clauses.  Nonetheless, war was declared by Austria-Hungary shortly afterwards.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Austria-Hungary’s Ultimatum to Serbia

On the 31st of March, 1909, the Serbian Minister in Vienna, on the instructions of the Serbian Government, made the following declaration to the Imperial and Royal Government:

“Serbia recognizes that the fait accompli regarding Bosnia has not affected her rights and consequently she will conform to the decisions that the Powers may take in conformity with Article 25 of the Treaty of Berlin. In deference to the advice of the Great Powers, Serbia undertakes to renounce from now onwards the attitude of protest and opposition which she has adopted with regard to the annexation since last autumn.

She undertakes, moreover, to modify the direction of her policy with regard to Austria-Hungary and to live in future on good neighbourly terms with the latter.”

The history of recent years, and in particular the painful events of the 28th of June last, have shown the existence of a subversive movement with the object of detaching a part of the territories of Austria-Hungary from the Monarchy.

The movement, which had its birth under the eye of the Serbian Government, has gone so far as to make itself manifest on both sides of the Serbian frontier in the shape of acts of terrorism and a series of outrages and murders.

Far from carrying out the formal undertakings contained in the declaration of the 31st of March, 1909, the Royal Serbian Government has done nothing to repress these movements.  It has permitted the criminal machinations of various societies and associations directed against the Monarchy, and has tolerated unrestrained language on the part of the press, the glorification of the perpetrators of outrages, and the participation of officers and functionaries in subversive agitation.

It has permitted an unwholesome propaganda in public instruction; in short, it has permitted all manifestations of a nature to incite the Serbian population to hatred of the Monarchy and contempt of its institutions.

This culpable tolerance of the Royal Serbian Government had not ceased at the moment when the events of the 28th of June last proved its fatal consequences to the whole world.

It results from the depositions and confessions of the criminal perpetrators of the outrage of the 28th of June that the Sarajevo assassinations were planned in Belgrade; that the arms and explosives with which the murderers were provided had been given to them by Serbian officers and functionaries belonging to the Narodna Odbrana; and finally, that the passage into Bosnia of the criminals and their arms was organized and effected by the chiefs of the Serbian frontier service.

The above-mentioned results of the magisterial investigation do not permit the Austro-Hungarian Government to pursue any longer the attitude of expectant forbearance which they have maintained for years in face of the machinations hatched in Belgrade, and thence propagated in the territories of the Monarchy.  The results, on the contrary, impose on them the duty of putting an end to the intrigues which form a perpetual menace to the tranquillity of the Monarchy.

To achieve this end the Imperial and Royal Government see themselves compelled to demand from the Royal Serbian Government a formal assurance that they condemn this dangerous propaganda against the Monarchy; in other words the whole series of tendencies, the ultimate aim of which is to detach from the Monarchy territories belonging to it and that they undertake to suppress by every means this criminal and terrorist propaganda.

In order to give a formal character to this undertaking the Royal Serbian Government shall publish on the front page of their “Official Journal” of the 13-26 of July the following declaration:

“The Royal Government of Serbia condemn the propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary – i.e., the general tendency of which the final aim is to detach from the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy territories belonging to it, and they sincerely deplore the fatal consequences of these criminal proceedings.

The Royal Government regret that Serbian officers and functionaries participated in the above-mentioned propaganda and thus compromised the good neighbourly relations to which the Royal Government were solemnly pledged by their declaration of the 31st of March, 1909.

The Royal Government, who disapprove and repudiate all idea of interfering or attempting to interfere with the destinies of the inhabitants of any part whatsoever of Austria-Hungary, consider it their duty formally to warn officers and functionaries, and the whole population of the Kingdom, that henceforward they will proceed with the utmost rigor against persons who may be guilty of such machinations, which they will use all their efforts to anticipate and suppress.”

This declaration shall simultaneously be communicated to the Royal army as an order of the day by His Majesty the King and shall be published in the “Official Bulletin” of the army.

The Royal Serbian Government shall further undertake:

(1) To suppress any publication which incites to hatred and contempt of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the general tendency of which is directed against its territorial integrity;

(2) To dissolve immediately the society styled “Narodna Odbrana,” to confiscate all its means of propaganda, and to proceed in the same manner against other societies and their branches in Serbia which engage in propaganda against the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.  The Royal Government shall take the necessary measures to prevent the societies dissolved from continuing their activity under another name and form;

(3) To eliminate without delay from public instruction in Serbia, both as regards the teaching body and also as regards the methods of instruction, everything that serves, or might serve, to foment the propaganda against Austria-Hungary;

(4) To remove from the military service, and from the administration in general, all officers and functionaries guilty of propaganda against the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy whose names and deeds the Austro-Hungarian Government reserve to themselves the right of communicating to the Royal Government;

(5) To accept the collaboration in Serbia of representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Government for the suppression of the subversive movement directed against the territorial integrity of the Monarchy;

(6) To take judicial proceedings against accessories to the plot of the 28th of June who are on Serbian territory; delegates of the Austro-Hungarian Government will take part in the investigation relating thereto;

(7) To proceed without delay to the arrest of Major Voija Tankositch and of the individual named Milan Ciganovitch, a Serbian State employee, who have been compromised by the results of the magisterial inquiry at Serajevo;

(8) To prevent by effective measures the cooperation of the Serbian authorities in the illicit traffic in arms and explosives across the frontier, to dismiss and punish severely the officials of the frontier service at Shabatz Loznica guilty of having assisted the perpetrators of the Serajevo crime by facilitating their passage across the frontier;

(9) To furnish the Imperial and Royal Government with explanations regarding the unjustifiable utterances of high Serbian officials, both in Serbia and abroad, who, notwithstanding their official position, have not hesitated since the crime of the 28th of June to express themselves in interviews in terms of hostility to the Austro-Hungarian Government; and, finally,

(10) To notify the Imperial and Royal Government without delay of the execution of the measures comprised under the preceding heads.

The Austro-Hungarian Government expect the reply of the Royal Government at the latest by 5 o’clock on Saturday evening the 25th of July.  (See Note 1)

(Note 1) The Austro-Hungarian Ambassador in a private letter on the 24th of July sent to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs the following correction:

“In the copy of the dispatch which I had the honour to send to your Excellency this morning, it was said that my Government expected an answer from the Cabinet at Belgrade at latest by 5 o’clock on the evening of Saturday the 25th of this month.  As our Minister at Belgrade did not deliver his note yesterday until 6 o’clock in the evening, the time allowed for the answer has in consequence been prolonged to 6 o’clock to-morrow, Saturday evening.

I consider it my duty to inform your Excellency of this slight alteration in the termination of the period fixed for the answer to the Serbian Government.”
