Abstract

Požega County Herald was published continuously throughout the period form 1904 till 1919. Editor in chief was Požega's printer Lavoslav Klein. From 1904 until 1918 Adolf Hoffer was the editor. This paper will cover the period of World War I through the sections; War News (next to reports on battles won and lost, this paper gives special regard to columns on imprisoned, killed and honored citizens of Požega), Letters from the battlefield (letters from soldiers to their ladies, parents and friends), news on the Hospital of Red Cross and many actions undertaken by the Red Cross in Požega area. There are also various fund raising actions undertaken by schools, organizations and citizens in order to help the troops.
