Description
  • Scope and content: Original Caption: Official photograph authorized by the Serbian Foreign Office and sent direct to Underwood & Underwood, via Consul General of Serbia in New York City, New York. A memorandum published by the ministers of all the allied countries in Serbia gives details of the horrible outrages committed by the Austro-Hungarian soldiers in Serbia, charging them with killing inoffensive peasants and wounded soldiers. Violating and massacring women and children and burning and pillaging villages. The Serbian Government aims to establish the proof that these crimes were not only committed with the knowledge of the Austrian military authorities but by their express order. Copy of an order found upon the body of an officer killed in battle. Inhabitants found without uniforms were not to be made prisoners but were to be shot at once. When entering a village the troops were ordered to take some of the leading men in the village as hostages so that in the event that an attack was made on the invaders these hostages were to be shot at once. If time cannot be spared to make search for arms "it is necessary to shoot those suspected." This photograph gives an idea how these orders were interpreted and executed by the Austro-Hungarians.
