To add to video - he survived the slaughter of his family solely because his dad sent him to uncle to borrow a cart. According to what his son said, he was haunted by the image of his family being hanged (mother, father, four sisters and grandma) and his house burnt to the ground to the end of his days. The murderers were from Austro-Hungarian 42nd Home Guard Infantry Division, also nicknamed "Devil's Division" for their horrible crimes.

One important thing he also was part of "Solunski" front that brought the end of WW1, so basically he was from the very beginning of WW1 to the very end of WW1. There's a excellent Serbian movie depicting real historical figures "King Peter the First" or "Kralj Petar Prvi", of course film is about King Peter but also one of the main characters is Momčilo Gavrić and tells his and entire Serbian infantry story from the beginning to the Crete, later Serbia rejoined the war and fought along side French and sometimes British to reclaim all of Balkan.

Gotta be one of my favorite stories yet! That boy was a man since age 9. He survived too much to be held captive either, it would seem.

[@Electrikall]

His family was more than "harmed", they were massacred by Austro Hungarian troops, like many others during the savage invasion and occupation of Serbia. I encourage anyone interested in WW1 history to read about Momčilo Gavrilivić, story is way longer and obviously cant fit in a short video, but im really glad this story is covered, hopefully it sparks some interest for "forgotten" front of WW1. And i would also recommend reading about retreat of Serbian army and civilians across the Albanian mountains. Its an incredible story of struggle for survival. Never before or since has something like that happened. It was such an incredible feat that survivors who managed to return alive to Serbia received an award called "Albanska spomenica". There is a monument built in city of Loznica, it belongs to our boy, Momčilo. Thank you Yarnhub for keeping the memory of Momčilo Gavrilović alive. Živela Srbija!

Good video, there is also a funny story about his recalling to royal yugoslav army: when he recieved a call, he was still young, and he joked that he was already in the war, and they didnt believe him and he was put in prison, only later the older officers who knew him said to guards that he was actually talking a truth, and he still fought in ww2, as mentioned in video.

As a Serb, I really love this Yarnhub video. It takes a big difference from any other Yarnhub videos. Hell, even other videos from channels such as Extra History, Eastory, and so on can't compare with this single video. It takes a story that everybody knows and nobody has covered, goes into detail, and then release it to the public. Although some chunks were left out, this was top-notch. I really wish to see more historical videos focusing on Serbian history. But not just Serbian history, but other histories from other minor countries like the Czech Republic, Estonia, and many others! Besides that, great work Yarnhub. Hope you reach 1,000,000 subscribers before 2024.

Vasilevna: "I salute you, one legend to another." Gavric: *tips soldier's hat in appreciation* Small context: Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya was a Soviet tank commander (T-34 medium) who joined the army to avenge her husband's death in Barbarossa. She served the Red Army valiantly until dying from injuries in 1944 while trying to fix the 34's track. Gavric took his revenge too, and never gave up. I feel the two would find the other quite amiable to talk with.

4:40 Greeks only joined the war in 1917, even though since 1915. both sides egregiously violated their neutrality. The Entente armies on the Macedonian front alongside whom the Serbian Army fought in 1916 were French, British, Italian and Russian. By 1918. the British and the French had some of their colonial units from India, Senegal and Indochina, on the Macedonian front although I am not sure if any of them were there as early as 1916.

For a second, I thought this is the story of Sergei. After he's village got burned down after helping Russian partisans, the boy was found in a forest covered in scabs and bug bites. After the Russian scouts found him and take him into the regiment, when he was 3 or 5 years old when he joined. He did a lot of things like finding German artillery spotters inside a pile of hay, helping his adopted father who is commander of the regiment survive a couple times getting buried by artillery explosion, carried machine gun ammo to the machine gunners and many more. He was the mascot of the regiment, he even requested a child officers uniform and a custom rank was made named Junior Officer. This uniform almost got him killed when one time, a German bi-plane mistaken Sergei as an officer and shot in the leg. Another time, he was visited by a general that gave him a Browning pistol as a gift. He's adopted father would also marry a nurse in the regiment that Sergei was really fond of.
