Pali borci sela Činiglavaca, Obrenovca, Srećkovca, Planinice i Milojkovca i njihova spomen obeležja

Abstract

The whirlwind of war from the beginning and end of the 20th century on the Balkan Peninsula also affected the villages on the outskirts of the Pirot municipality. Conscripted soldiers, volunteers and mobilized population of the villages of Činiglavac, Obrenovac, Srećkovac, Planinica and Milojkovac took part in the Balkan wars of 1912-1913, the First and Second World War, as well as in the wars of 1991-1999, and some of them died. Civilian population suffered, too. Today monuments dedicated to fallen soldiers, memorial plaques, memorial boards as well as tombstones evidence all those events. This work aims to emphasize the importance of the memorials but also to point out the differences in the spelling of the names, surnames and middle letters of the fallen fighters, as well as the place and the year of their death. In addition to the sources from the archives and literature, the author used private collection of documents, statements of the fallen fighters descendants as well as the data from the memorials and tombstones of the fallen fighters.
