Soldiers Who Don’t Eat Describe Servian Troops Spirit

They live on bread, potatoes, and curdled milk, rarely meat, fighting Austria for years while women sustain agriculture. The men endure two days without food, yet laugh, sing, and endure pain with little rest or reserves. The nurses praise their steadiness as the army lacks reserves.
