A showcase of decorations, medals, thank-you notes and other exhibits on the involvement, courage and suffering of the Serbian military in World War I opened November 19-26 at the Consulate General in Toronto. The occasion for the exhibition was to mark the signing of the truce in World War I, as well as the interest of the Serbian community in Canada, among whom are descendants of Salonica Front soldiers, to exhibit to the public part of their inherited, private collections of decorations and distinctions of exceptional value.

The opening of the exhibition was attended, among others, by Ontario MP Tom Rakocevic, Consul General of Poland Krzysztof Grzelczak, United States Consul April Heine and Vice Consul Owen Fletcher, Consul of Northern Macedonia Adnan Memed, Consul of Mexico Louis Castanet, Professors at the University of Toronto and York University and many others. Opening the exhibition, the guests were addressed by Consul General Vasilije Petkovic, who presented the historical facts about the Great War in Serbia and the participation of Canadian volunteers in the medical corps.



In the first segment of the exhibition, architect Milos Pavlovic exhibited a collection of honors conferred on his great-grandfather, physician Milos Borisavljevic, a participant in all wars in Serbia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, President of the Serbian Red Cross Society and one of the founders of the Belgrade School of Medicine.



Goran Brehlich, Senior Vice President at Kesmen & Weifield ULC, has exhibited a private collection of valuable decorations. Framed segments of eight volumes of a comic anthology entitled "Front Lines", dedicated to commemorating the centenary of World War I and presented by Zoran Moro at his publishing house System Comics, were also part of the exhibition. The "Serbian National Academy in Canada" made its contribution by exhibiting photographs that perpetuated the moments that the famous Serbian army went through.
