Military Cemeteries and Graves of Prisoners of War and Soldiers from World War I in the Area between Trenta and Kranjska Gora

Abstract

The article addresses the question of military cemeteries and graves of prisoners of war and soldiers from World War I in the area between Trenta and Kranjska Gora. Based on archival and other sources, as well as on research conducted on location, the article provides and describes the loca-tions of former and present cemeteries. Available lists of buried soldiers and prisoners of war serve as a starting point for assessing the number of Russian, Italian, Serbian and other prisoners of war and soldiers who died in the area in question. The research shows that their number is considerably smaller than the number that was brought up in Slovene bibliography and in eyewitness testimonies about the period of World War I.
