Milutin Bojic is the most famous of the many Serbian writers, poets and painters to die in [[World War I]]. In his brief life he wrote works that reflect two major themes: the Serbs' powerful national pride and their agony during the disasterous war. Even more so than his plays and epics, the war lyrics in "Pesme bola i ponosa" (Poems of Pain and Pride), published in 1917 in Thessaloniki, made one of the most popular war poets. His personal suffering seemed to embody Serbian history at that juncture of greatness and disaster.

Milutin Bojic was a military mail censor during the beginning of World War I, and one of the promising poets of Serbia, according to literary critic [[Jovan Skerlic]]. One scholar described the generation: "With the war eating away the nation's youth, Serbian literature, like the Serbian nation, was bled almost to death." After the Serbian army's retreat through Albania (World War I) in winter of 1915-1916, the survivors who reached the Adriatic coast were transported to [[Corfu]] by French, Italian and other allied ships. Here and in the neighbouring island of [[Vido]] many of them died of diseases contracted while trecking across the treacherous, snow-covered, rocky mountains. They were buried at sea.

During the First World War, the island of Corfu served as a refuge for the Serbian Army that retreated there from their homeland ravaged and occupied by the armies of Austra-Hungary, Germany, and Bulgraria. During their stay, a large portion of Serbian soldiers died from famine, exhaustion, and different diseases. Their remains were buried at sea near the island of Vido, a small island at the north of Corfu port.
