Summoning reserves, Bulgaria, Serbo-Bulgarian War
Army reserves are recruited in a small Bulgarian town for the defence of Sofia in the Serbo-Bulgarian war. We see an officer blowing a horn, and soldiers marching away from their rural town. The war lasted two weeks from 14th - 28th November, started by Serbia in protest at the unification of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia, although the Serbs were decisively defeated
