Sažetak
As part of the Austrian armed forces, the frontier soldiers enjoyed a centuries-old reputation as good quality and loyal soldiers. They were to confirm this reputation once again in 1859, when the Austro-Sardinian War or the Second Italian War of Independence broke out. The attention of this paper is focused precisely on the role of one specific group of Frontier soldiers – members of the Otočac 2nd Frontier Regiment – in this conflict. On the basis of a variety of source materials, the military path of the Otočac frontier soldiers was reconstructed in order to depict their wartime experience, as well as to examine more closely the question of their reliability and efficiency as soldiers in the service of the Habsburg ruler.
