Take a look at these two articles that were published on Page 6 in the Daily Chronicle on June 16th and July 19th of 1919. They talk of the experiences of Mike Mianovich and John Bibah and what their families went through in the old countries during the war. The Great War is an experience that's important to remember especially for all of us who had relatives who fought and died. Many of our Serbian ancestors fought in this war and some even returned home to volunteer as soldiers in the Serbian Army and fight for the allied cause in Europe.
