Art/Literary - Military / Defense | | English term or phrase: pursuit party | [Some Bulgarian guerillas] slept, ate, drank (maybe a little too much), gathered strength and were ready to go on their way when, out of nowhere, a poterya, ***a pursuit party***, arrived in the village. No doubt some local coward had betrayed our brothers.
Nous sommes en 1905, pendant les combats de "guérilla" au cours desquels diverses armées slaves (dont des Bulgares), plus ou moins organisées, tentent de libérer la Macédoine du joug ottoman
Le mot poterya est (je pense) une translittération du bulgare (dont je ne connais pas un mot...)
Je ne vois pas comment traduire "pursuit party" : une brigade de poursuivants ? A moins que l'expression ne soit issue de la termino militaire et ait une traduction bien précise en français ?
Merci de votre aide |

| | un groupe de poursuivants | Explanation:
A pursuit party is ( I think) sent after people to hunt them down.
I'd suggest this then.
I also thought about "chasseur" but that sounds too much like hunting to me. |
