H.R.H. Crown Prince Alexander and Princess Katarina, together with the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Serbia, H.E. Mr. Edward Ferguson, and the author, Colonel Nik Ilić, officially opened, at the White Palace in Belgrade, the exhibition “Brits and the Second World War in Yugoslavia.”
Visitors to the exhibition had the opportunity to see historical photographs and other documents meticulously collected and prepared by Colonel Ilić with great dedication and commitment, to commemorate the actions of officers and soldiers of the United Kingdom’s armed forces and British military missions that operated in occupied Yugoslavia during the Second World War. Many of these documents have never been seen or published in their current form. They were gathered from the Imperial War Museum and the National Archives in London, as well as from private collections of relatives of those who fought alongside the Yugoslav people during those difficult and dark days from 1941 to 1945.
