I don’t know what the fates were of Serbian taken prisoner in WWI. I do know that Serbian military and civilian losses were extraordinarily high as percentages. It has been shown that more than a quarter of the Serbian population (civilian and military) were lost during the war, with about the same percentage of soldiers being lost (relative to France at 17%, Germany at 15%, and Russia at 11%). So for these ‘glassy-eyed” Serb prisoners appearing in this photo in Illustrirte Zeitung for December 4, 1914 the war was over–what happened to them over the next four years of captivity, I don’t know.
