Three wars in seven years with Turks, Bulgars, Austrians and Germans as enemies is enough to try the patience and burden bearing ability of any people. But the Serbs have gone through it and emerged with plenty of national spirit. But it's been reduced to the spirit of the mountain burro patient, slow, and uncomplaining. These little beasts were practically the only livestock left to the Serbs. So the burdens they carry are larger and heavier than the animals themselves. This shows a Serb mountaineer packing American Red Cross relief supplies on a burro for transportation to a remote village
