Few pictures in the Bain collection show combat as directly as this one, which the title ties to Montenegrin troops attacking Bedic Fort. Montenegro joined Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece in the First Balkan War of 1912 and 1913, and Montenegrin forces fought around Scutari (Shkodra) during the campaign, which is the setting the caption suggests. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers, so images like this reached American readers following the war. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact site and date should be checked against other sources.
