"There, Far Away" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Тамо далеко") is a Serbian national, folk song, created during WW1, when Serbian army and a large number of civilians retreated from Serbia, across the albanian mountains. The original plan was for Serbian army to go south through FYRoM to Thessaloniki, Greece. But Bulgaria suddenly enterd the war on Austro-Hungarian side and backstabbed Serbia, cutting it's retreat to Thessaloniki. Serbs were forced to go through albanian mountains, dying of hunger, cold, tyhpus and constant attacks by albanian mountain ambushers. This event would remain known to Serbs as "albanian Golgotha".
To the port where the French allied ships would take them to Corfu, to heal and wait for the moment to break the back of Austro-Hungarian empire, breaking through the Salonika front with such fire, that French generals reported that their cavalry can't keep up with the advance of the Serbian infantry.
Many that died on the way to Corfu were given the burial at sea. Soldiers named it "the Blue Tomb/Graveyard".
Today, the Serbian graveyard of those who died in Salonika front is guarded and tended by a Serb grandpa Djordje, in Zeitenlik in Thessaloniki (Greece). More about grandpa Djordje and his unrelenting duty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Mihailovi%C4%87
The identity of its writer and composer remained a matter of dispute for many decades. In 2008, historian Ranko Jakovljević discovered that Đorđe Marinković, an amateur musician from the village of Korbovo near Kladovo, was the song's original writer and composer, having composed the song in 1916 and secured its authorship rights in Paris in 1922. The song remains popular among Serbs in the Balkans and the diaspora.
The song became very popular amongst Serbian émigrés following World War I and was even played at the funeral of Serb inventor Nikola Tesla in January 1943.
