Abstract
Based on historical sources and presently available bibliography, the paper describes the life path of one of the active participants of World War I, Ante Neimarević. Neimarević is of Central Bosnian origin. Having completed grammar school, he participated in World War I as a member of the First Bosnian-Herzegovinian infantry regiment of the fourth battalion. He took part in battles on the eastern battlefield during the Brusilov Offensive in 1916, and at a battle of the Isonzo in 1917 where he was wounded. Neimarević subsequently completed his studies of history and geography and taught at grammar schools in Križevci, Celje, Varaždin, Vinkovci and Koprivnica. Besides teaching, Neimarević also wrote literary works. The biggest part of his literary work is related to events in World War I. This article provides an analysis of these works and compares them to the works of other authors who also wrote about World War I. We singled out two of Neimarevićʼs works: Reminiscence of Galicia (Sjećanje na Galiciju)
and the novel 1914-1918. His works were compared with the works of Krleža and Remarque.
