Personal situation

"Particularly interesting is the figure of Dr. Marija Zibold, German woman from Riga. As a young doctor, with medical student Draga Ljočić, she participated as a volunteer in the Serbian-Turkish wars from 1876 until 1878 and gained the rank of Reserve Ambulance Lieutenant. After the war, Dr. Marija Zibold stayed in Serbia, and as wittily remarked by one of her biographers, when not participating in the wars that Serbia waged later, she had a private practice in Belgrade. Dr. Marija Zibold died in 1939, in the rank of Major as a reserve medical holder of numerous medals: The Order of the Cross of Takovo 5th class, Order of White Eagle, Order of St. Sava, Order of Red Cross and Order for Honor."
