Sažetak

Of the total number of Croatian generals and admirals in the Habsburg Monarchy’s army in the period from 1804 to 1918, a quarter were either born in or originated from the Lika region. Among them were several prominent
brothers who attained the rank of general or admiral, of whom the brothers Feldmarschall-Leutnants Ivan and Ivan Juraj Tomičić, stand out. They, too, attained their rank of general through battlefield successes and were
awarded high state decorations that bestowed noble titles. Loyalty to their home region became evident in their choice of nobiliary particles, as well as in their political and scholarly work upon retirement. Loyalty to the Croatian homeland was also expressed in the authoring of biographies of Croatian military heroes, published in the journal Prosvjeta and in a compendium on Croatian generals. These achievements secured them a place in the well-known compendium of Croatian notables, Znameniti i zaslužni Hrvati te pomena vrijedna lica u hrvatskoj povijesti od 925 – 1925. (Famous and Meritorious Croats and Noteworthy Figures in Croatian History from 925 to 1925).
