In the offensive against the Austrians in December 1914 a Serbian company found in a trench three Magyar soldiers. They laid down their arms.
"Would you kill them, Andrea?" asked the officer of one of his men to prove him.
The man replied with astonishment:
Marko of Prilep never killed a disarmed man"
A peasant one day dug the ground behind his home. It was after the Austrian army had been
beaten and repulsed, and the Serbian refugees returned home. The peasant was asked:
"What are you digging for?"
"Our tricolours. I put it three weeks ago under the ground. I was afraid the Austrians would spit on it, and it means the same as to spit in one's face."
