Abstract
The author makes reference to the published autobiographical writings of Petar Grgec, the prominentCatholic layman, on the World War One. These records, written from a time distance, evoke memories on his war years, spent on Soča/Isonzo battlefield and captivity in Italy. Some parts of his memoirs describe his native Kalinovac and Podravina region in very illustrative way. In this context, his writings represent a useful historical source and an interesting testimony on wartime Podravina contemporary life. Also, these memoirs are important historical contributions to better understanding of our 1914- 1918 wartime past and a valuable witness of history and historic individuals, associated with Croatian Catholic Movement, its development and activities.
