Reunion of the heroes of the Battle of Grahovac
The surviving Montenegrin heroes of the Battle of Grahovac of 28th April to 1st May 1858 meet at Cetinje, Montenegro. At Grahovac, Grand Duke Mirko Petrovic-Njegos, led a strong army of 7, 500 winning a crucial battle against the Turks (army of between 7, 000 to 13, 000) routing their army. A considerable arsenal of war trophies were left in Montenegrin hands, to come in handy again in the final wars of independence in 1862 and 1875-1878. Some of these are pictured with the old soldiers
