Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzed the unknown manuscript of the war diary by Aleksandar B. Cvetković (1891-1962), a farmer from the Šopaj village in the Belopalan municipality, who was the first warlord in the First World War, the commander of the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Detachment of the Third (Pirot) Infantry Regiment of the Moravian Division. The diary was called The Great War Warner (1916-1919) published in 2018 by the merit of Jovan Mladenović and Nemanja Nešić, and is one of the most direct sources of the war picture that came from the ranks of Serbian soldiers. In our interpretation we pointed out the subjective experience of war, as well as the documentary authenticity of the testimony, and the linguistic and stylistic features of the diaries.
