Abstract

In the Military Museum in Belgrade there are two prototypes of military flags. Those flags, according to the regulation of 1904, were never appointed to the Serbian Army. Based on the details on one of the flags, it was determined that the canvas belonged to a flag from the earlier regulation, dating from 1884. It is the canvas of the flag of the 7 th Infantry Regiment called "King Alexander I", which was previously considered destroyed in 1903. Bearing in mind that there are no preserved flags from the period of this regulation, it was concluded that the Military Museum safeguards the only testimony of this flag model, remade in 1904. Flags, made according to the regulation of 1884, were appointed to the Army in 1886, on the Obrenović's holiday "Cveti". The names of the Obrenović Dynasty were inscribed on the canvas, and some of the regiments were named after them. Although they did not take part in the war with Bulgaria in 1885, these flags were presented as war flags in artworks. When the Karadjordjević Dynasty came to power, military flags with names of the Obrenović Dynasty were probably withdrawn or remade, and other flags got new ribbons, with the monogram of the new king. Other elements of the flags were not disputable for the Karadjordjević Dynasty. The regulation on flags was adopted in 1904, but the changes were not drastic, thus it happened that for the creation of a flag prototype, the canvas of the flag from earlier regulation was used. Flags were replaced shortly before the Balkan wars, in 1911. Before that, they had been used for almost seven years under the Obrenović Dynasty, plus eight years under the Karadjordjević Dynasty. Firstly, they were celebrated as the symbols of the Serbian Royal Army, and since 1904 they were a temporary solution until the definition of flag symbols that would have wider mobilization potential. Not crowned with war glory and being witnesses of politically unstable period, their lives after 1911 were not considered a significant testimony of the military history
军旗:19世纪末20世纪初塞尔维亚政治动荡的见证
在贝尔格莱德的军事博物馆里,有两面军旗的原型。根据1904年的条例,这些旗帜从未被任命给塞尔维亚军队。根据其中一面旗帜上的细节,确定这幅画布属于1884年早期规则中的一面旗帜。它是第7步兵团的旗帜帆布,被称为“国王亚历山大一世”,之前被认为在1903年被摧毁。考虑到这一规定期间没有保存下来的旗帜,得出的结论是,军事博物馆保护着这面1904年重新制作的旗帜模型的唯一证据。旗帜,根据1884年的规定,被任命为军队在1886年,在奥夫连诺维奇的节日“Cveti”。奥布伦维茨王朝的名字被刻在画布上,一些军团以他们的名字命名。虽然他们没有参加1885年与保加利亚的战争,但这些旗帜在艺术品中作为战争旗帜出现。当karadjordjeviki王朝掌权时,印有obrenviki王朝名字的军旗可能被撤回或重新制作,而其他旗帜则有新的缎带,上面有新国王的字母组合。旗帜的其他元素对于卡拉乔杰维奇王朝来说是无可争议的。关于旗帜的规定于1904年通过,但变化并不剧烈,因此在创建旗帜原型时,使用了早期规定中的旗帜画布。1911年巴尔干战争前不久,国旗被替换。在此之前,他们在奥布伦维茨王朝的统治下使用了近七年,在卡拉乔杰维奇王朝的统治下使用了八年。首先,它们被视为塞尔维亚皇家军队的象征,自1904年以来,它们是一种临时解决方案,直到国旗符号的定义具有更广泛的动员潜力。由于没有战争的荣耀和政治动荡时期的见证者,他们在1911年后的生活并没有被认为是军事史的重要见证
