Blood on Sacred Soil: Greeks Take Down Bulgarian Invaders

In a brazen attempt to breach the neutral territory of Greece, Bulgarian forces were met with a hail of gunfire from the Greek infantry. The clash, which took place on October 27, 1915, near the town of Dorian, close to the junction of the Serbian, Greek, and Bulgarian borders, was a tense standoff between two nations not yet formally at war. But when the Bulgarians sought to outflank the entrenched Serbian forces, the Greek border guards took matters into their own hands.
