Summary/Abstract: In 1970 as an emigrant in Bolzano (South Tyrol), the pre-war entrepreneur Franc (Franci) Heinrihar Jr (1897–1988) wrote short but detailed and critical memories of participating in the struggles for the Slovenian northern border in 1918 and 1919. He and his brother Vinko were at the helm of the first group of 19 volunteers who crossed the Karavanke mountain range. Among other matters, the foreword and footnotes contain information about the author, who was a financial trustee in the headquarters of the Slovenian Chetniks during the war, and his family.
