Friday, November 17, 1916

"On November 17 the dawn was bright and clear, the white contours of the mountains and the roofs of Monastir standing out sharply in the frozen air. The indomitable Serbs stormed two nameless hills due east of the town while the French and Italians and Russians moved slowly forward from one tiny hamlet to another all that day and most of the night."

Quotation Context

Along the Salonica Front extending across Greece, the Allied French, British, Serbian, Russian, and Italian army faced a Bulgarian army supported by German troops. The liberation of Monastir would be the first significant victory for Serbian forces since their country was occupied the year before.
