The diary of Aleksandar Lazić (1901–1960), a fourteen-year-old from a Belgrade officer's house originally from Šumadija, who during the First World War participated in the withdrawal of the Serbian army through Serbia, Montenegro and Albania, transport of refugees across the Adriatic Sea and Italy , and high school education in France.
It is a precious, rich and unusual primary historical source - the personal experience of war and exile of a very educated and curious boy on the threshold of his youth from the capital of the Kingdom of Serbia.
Among the Serbian testimonies from the time of the First World War in the form of diaries, those written by a young child who directly observed war operations and sufferings, and then experienced their consequences during the exile in a foreign allied country, were not frequent.
