This is a Serbian veteran's badge commemorating the Liberation Wars from 1912 through to 1919. There were a number of different veteran's organisations that were formed after the war. Also shown is a membership card, belonging to veteran Dragomir Nikolic, who was born in 1892. The annual membership subscriptions on this particular card ran from 1972 through 1983, though the last subscription was paid in 1981. Also interesting to note are the differences in design between the metal badge and the motif printed inside the membership card. That, though the metal badge and title page motif on the title page of the membership card give the years 1912-1919, the title above the printed motif gives 1912-1920, where military action in 1920 would have involved the northern parts of the newly-formed country of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The same difference also occurs with the circular stamps next to the subscription fees, with the central design giving the years 1912-1919, and the edges of the stamp giving 1912-1920. The later stamps in the membership card indicate that the treasury for the membership is in the town of Kragujevac. || Serbian veteran's badge for Liberation Wars from 1912 - 1919.

This is a badge for the Serbian Relief Fund, which was a charity that ran hospitals in Serbia during the war and helped refugees, as well as working with the Red Cross. The badge design is of a Serbian heraldic eagle with, in its centre, a red and blue shield and the organisation’s initials, ‘SRF’, on it. There is a fastening pin on the back of the badge, along with the maker’s name, Fattorini and Sons, of Bradford. The firm also designed the famous English FA Cup in 1910, replacing the previous design for which the English FA realised that they didn’t own the copyright, and which was itself retired and replaced by an exact replica in 1992, only for that one to be replaced in 2014 due to conditions of wear. || Badge of the Serbian Relief Fund

Serbian Air Force pilot badge. || The Serbian Air Force was established in 1912, and the country was one of the first 15 states in the world to have an air force. In the First World War, the Serbian Air Force operated in Serbia and, later, the Salonika Front, where they fought alongside their comrades in the French Air Force. Serbian Air Force pilots wore this French-made (by 'Bizu Fix'), pilot's badge over their left breast pocket. Official regulations did not cover the wearing of this badge, but there are various photographs of Serbian pilots wearing this badge, and pilots would even sometimes wear a mixture of clothing in their missions that weren't official, regulation wear. The Serbian Air Force performed the first medevac (medical evacuation) operations in aviation history in November 1915 when they took wounded soldiers from Serbia to Corfu by air for medical treatment. The Serbian Air Force flew several thousand air sorties at this time and, it wasn't just the air that enemy pilots would have to watch out for, as the first ever shooting-down of an airplane in history by ground-based anti-aircraft (AA) fire was performed by the Serbian Army on 30 September 1915, with a dedicated AA unit which was part of an artillery regiment, over Kragujevac, Serbia. Today, the event is commemorated by the Serbian Army as the Day of Air Defense Artillery Units.
