Bora Stanković

Died in 1927

Borisav Stanković was born in 1876 in Vranje, then Ottoman, which Serbia took back two years later. His father, a cobbler, and his mother, from a rich merchant family, died when he was a child, and his grandmother, from a family that had once been rich, raised him by telling him stories of the past. He attended secondary school in Vranje and Niš, studied law in Belgrade and took his degree in 1902; he then lived on civil-service jobs. He left memoirs of the Great War under the occupation and died in Belgrade in 1927.
