  • Kuvaus: Doctor Archibald Reiss (1876-1929), a renowned Swiss criminologist was at the very beginning of the Great War sent by the International Court, on request of the Serbian government, as a member of commission for determining crimes committed by the Austrian and Serbian occupying forces in Serbia during World War I. He collected numerous documents on atrocious deeds of the occupying forces in Mačva and East Serbia and informed the world public about them. Reiss became friendly with the Serbian people, so he participated as the volunteer in World War I, crossing Albania alongside Serbian army. After the war, he lived in Belgrade where he died in 1929. As a token of gratitude for all that he did for the Serbian people, the Association of Reserve Officers and Warriors raised him the monument in Topčider Park, which was unveiled on the 9th August 1931 and the whole event was recorded by camera of the Serbian cinematography pioneer Kosta Novaković.
