Did I take a pfennig from him in payment? when I saw that he had talent? Not I! And I did it all. When he came to me, he couldn't play a scale.

The grade of field marshal was created in the Serbian army during the First Balkan War. With him worked Colonel Pavlovitch, the son of a farmer, who had won a series of scholarships, enabling him to study in Berlin. He had directed the military operations in the field against Turkey and Bulgaria, and he was to do the same thing under his old chief against the Austrians.
