Prince Peter of Mont. and staff (LOC)

    As near as I can figure, the fellow standing at the front of the group is Prince Petar Petrovic Njegos, who can also be seen at upper right in the photo on this page about the royal family of Montenegro. According to text farther down that page, Prince Petar lived from 1889 to 1932.

    whyaduck: It looks like you could be right. We will update the source data and reload the description. Thanks!

    Montenegro was involved as a participant in the First and Second Baltic wars, more photos of that on here.
  • Mark said:
    Harry, I take you mean Balkan Wars and not Baltic.

Montenegrins attacking Becic [i.e., Decic] Fort (LOC)

  • Mark said:
    I just noticed the tag for 'First Baltic War' is consistent amongst all these photos. This, of course, should be 'First Balkan War'.

    The writing on the negative looks to be "BECIC" not "BEDIC" to me. There is a Becic in Montenegro and another in Serbia (using today's boundaries). See www.fallingrain.com/world/YI/a/B/e/c/ There was also a General Becic in the Montenegrin army. See militaryhistory.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_1914_army_of...

    Taking a different tack... From www.oldandsold.com/articles14/travel-363.shtml "The Montenegrin army began the fighting. It made an attack on the Turkish position at Podgoritza, and after a four hours' artillery engagement, forced the Turks to evacuate the heights they had occupied. The Montenegrins then attacked the fortified position of the Turks at Detchich." So, maybe it should be Decic (or rather Dečić). See www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Tuzi "Tuzi and Malesia became a part of Montenegro some 90 years ago. Tuzi was under Ottoman (Turkish) rule as all the other Albanian and neighbouring lands. Although it was the last one that fell under Turkish rule & the first one that was liberated. The first national upheaval for liberation from Turkish rule, after the death of Gjergj Kastroiti Skendernbeu, was initiated in the forests near Tuzi, in Dečić hill."
