The courageous defence of the Serbian capital in 1915 is best described through the words of Major Gavrilovic's speech to his troops before the battle: "Soldiers, exactly at three o'clock the enemy is to be crushed by your fierce charge, destroyed by your grenades and bayonets. The honor of Belgrade, our capital, must not be stained. Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrified for the honour of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For the king and the Fatherland! Long live the king! Long live Belgrade!"
