File:Serbian peasant women. 11877v.jpg

English: Title: Serbian peasant women. In the early hours of the morning these Serbian peasant women walk over the rough roads for ten or fifteen miles on their way to the public markets of Belgrade where they sell their meager produce from small push carts. The markets open very early and close at noon to enable them to get back to their homes by the evening. The miserable existence that the peasant population of this war-torn country leads shows in the lined faces of the women, for in years they are much younger than they appear to be. After the Armistice when they were almost naked, it was the American Red Cross that rescued many thousands of them and helped them through some of the darkest hours that over beset their grief stricken country
