The Elevation 1050 (Кота 1050, Höhe 1050) was an important strategic position on the Salonica Front during the First World War. After the conquest of the peak Kajmakčalan by the Allied Forces in late September 1916, the fighting moved near the town of Bitola and the river Crna Reka. The Allied armies entered Bitola on 19 November 1916, after which the Central Powers retreated to the mountains around Bitola, from where the city was bombarded for a period of almost two years. The German Army realised that the loss of the Elevation 1050 would put the defense of all their positions in the bow of the river Crna Reka into question and would open the road for the conquest of Central Macedonia, so it put a great effort in its defense. Both warring sides paid great attention to this location, and a huge number of soldiers gave their lives in this area. After the transition to trench warfare, there was a reorganisation of the Allied armies, and this part of the Salonica Front was assigned to the Italian Army. In 1917 the Allied forces made an unsuccessful attempt to win the Elevation 1050, after which the Italian Army lost 68 officers and 2,149 soldiers and the Second Russian Brigade about 1,000 soldiers. During our survey on the Elevation 1050 in May 2025 we came across remnants of the German trenches and fortified positions.
