Question: Who wrote the WW1 Serbian song, Tamo Daleko!?
I know it was a Serbian soldier who was in Corfu, after withdrawing from Serbia in November 1915, due to a Austro-Hungarian & Bulgarian offensive (which resulted, unfortunately, in the occupation of Serbia by those countries for a few years)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It is considered by some the anthem of every Serb soldier that leaves his family and goes to fight for his country!. The song is sung by a soldier on the island of Corfu, following the withdrawal of the Serbian Army through northern Albania after Serbia was overrun by the Central Powers!.
There has been several alleged authors for this song, although the first version is atribuited to King Stefan Uros!.
Several following versions exist today, but it is uncertain which one is the original!.
