Battle of Kosturino
The Battle of Kosturino was a battle between the forces of Bulgaria and Great Britain as part of the Serbian Campaign. The British were forced to retreat to Salonika.
== Background ==
Following the intervention of Bulgaria in World War I, on October 1, 1915 the Austrian-German-Bulgarian offensive against Serbia started. The Serbian forces were forced to withdrawal after defeats in the Morava Offensive and Ovche Pole Offensive . Parts of the Franco-British force, that had landed in Salonika (Thessaloniki) in early October, was to advance to the North to support the retiring Serbian units in Kosovo.
French forces under the command of General Maurice Sarrail advanced deep into Serbian territory with the intent of reaching the Serbian Army at Niš. But on 19 October, they discovered that Bulgarian forces had already managed to cut the railway line to the north of Krivolak. Further French forces were sent into the area, but after the unsuccessful Battle of Krivolak between November 3 and November 23, and growing evidence that Serbian forces to the north had collapsed, the French Army was forced to retreat to Salonika.
The War Office in London had been more reluctant to sent troops into Serbia. Only in the last week of October they had sent the 30th Brigade into Serbia, followed by the rest of the 10th (Irish) Division, which took over the French-held positions around Kosturino on November 21.
