Serbian POWs Shot by Austrian Troops

Notes:

Austro-Hungarian troops execute blind-folded Serbian prisoners of war in a firing squad. These Serbian prisoners may have been irregular troops conducting a guerilla war against the Austro-Hungarian occupation forces. Under international law, irregular troops did not enjoy the same protections as regular troops.
