Summary/Abstract: The article examines the actions of the 9th Infantry Pleven Division in the Second Balkan (Inter-Allied) War from the memoirs of Ivan Kovashki, Company sergeant major of the 34th Infantry Troyan Regiment. These memories are a valuable source for the actions of the division as well as his 34th Regiment. The memoirs provide first-person information not only about the course of hostilities, but also about some fateful moments related to the soldiers’ mutinies in the division, saving the regiment’s flag, and relationships between officers and soldiers. A comparison is made between the facts transmitted through personal memories and the official (archival) documents of the division: relations, operational orders, reports, etc. The goal is to clarify in the most accurate and historically accurate way the reasons that led to the disbandment of the division, as well as to emphasize the heroism of its ranks who remained loyal to their oath to the King and the Fatherland.
