'Remember, oh Reader, We Lie Scattered Here Dead, Obedient to Our Duty!' Casualties of the First World War from Valašské Klobouky
- Městské muzeum Valašské Klobouky
In 1931 a memorial to the casualties of the First World War was erected in Valašské Klobouky. There are 55 names on the plaque; four more names were inscribed at a later stage. The article overviews casualties of the First World War from the town of Valašské Klobouky, based on three existing lists of the period and two data bases of killed soldiers made available by Military Historical Archives and Military Central Archives; additionally, identification based on records of church registers was used. Combining and revising the aforementioned sources, the author established there were 69 casualties from Valašské Klobouky; this number is, however, not necessarily final. The main part of the article introduces the individual casualties in a form of personal profiles.
