They were sent to me by a friend of mine. I can't say what the original source is. A good guess would be that they are from some museum and have been published on the net.

I posted a thread with photos from the Russian Civil War a while back which should be added to this thread....the trouble is finding the thread....the search function is pretty useless!

Impossible, VMRO disbanded in 1934. We also didnt call ourselves cetniks. We called ourselves Komiti or a Komita. The word itself is a Macedonian word stemming from "cheta"
