A photo exhibition called "In Service to People and Homeland" will be on show in Svoboda Square in Haskovo on Tuesday, 10 November, from 9am to 4pm, the press office of Military Unit 52740 said.

The exhibition opened on Monday, 2 November, in front of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre in Sofia. Haskovo is one of its stops before the Land Forces' professional holiday on 19 November.

The photos were taken by soldiers and civilian staff from Land Forces units. They show drills, training and tasks in which the army helps people.

In Haskovo, music will be played by the military brass band of the 2nd Tundzha Mechanised Brigade, conducted by Captain Tsvetomir Vasilev.

The events mark two anniversaries: the Land Forces were founded 148 years ago, and the Bulgarian infantry won the Battle of Slivnitsa in the Serbo-Bulgarian War 141 years ago.

Soldiers from Haskovo take part in town-wide events, commemorations and ceremonies. Most recently, they marked 118 years since Bulgaria declared independence with flowers and a festive concert.
