In the recent period, when the 100th Anniversary of the Great War actualized the research of the subjects related to this war, the issue of the soldier’s life on the front and his daily routine, behavior, different attitudes, fears and prejudices, remained out of the research. The Serbian military primarily sources from the war also do not pay too much attention to this subject. The article provides framework for an overview of the social life of the Serbian soldier on the Macedonian Front 1916–1918. Mostly it is related to soldier’s non-combat activities while on the front and away from Homeland. The article also analyses the common soldier’s attitudes toward the Allies on the front. It is based on collected oral testimonies, gathered in Serbia in 1980ties among the veterans, as well as from the memoir literature.
