Sažetak
With a brief introduction, this work provides a translation of the book by Perne “Warasdiner 1538 - 1913” in the Croatian language. The book was published in Vienna in 1913 as a small memorial book for the forty year anniversary of the termination of the Varaždin generalcy and the Military frontier in general. The book in short depicts the military path of two frontier regiments, the V Križevac and the VI Ðurđevac regiments which were stationed in the settlements of the same name, however in 1758 their new headquarters became the newly erected military headquarters
of the Varaždin generalcy in Bjelovar. The work in general follows their military path on all the European battlefields on which the imperial monarchy expanded or defended its imperial interests. Therefore, from the battles with the Turks, in battles for Austrian heritage, in the Seven Year’s War with Napoleon, in the revolution in 1848 1849, the frontier soldiers of the Varaždin generalcy became, in the words of the author, “the wall towards external and internal
enemies against which all defiance, allurement or perjury shattered like glass on a hard rock”.
