Abstract

Records of eyewitnesses of events from the past are significant data sources concerning these events, particularly if they deal with wartime events. At the very beginning of World War I, after the Battle of Cer, the Serbian army invaded Syrmia and Bosnia in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Two letters from the report of the parish administrator from Hrtkovci, the Catholic priest Martin Firinger, kept in the Diocesan Archive, tell of the breakthrough of the Serbian army in Syrmia. The entire text of the letters, explanations and comments included, is provided in this paper. These two written reports are an additional source of lesser known facts and events from the time of World War I in Syrmia.
