By chance, the originally handwritten and later typewritten memoirs of the Austro-Hungarian soldier Fridrich/Fritz Mattyasovszky/Matiašovsky were saved from the waste paper collection in Ružomberok. The material is bound into a book of 518 numbered pages and captures Mattyasovszky‘s stories and reflections from his mobilisation in August 1914, fighting on the Eastern Front, followed by Transylvania, Romania and Alsace until his return back home. The last entry is from 23 August 1919 (however, transcribed on a typewriter only from 10 January to 14 March 1938). Mattyasovszky‘s memoirs are relatively fresh and valuable also due to the fact that he was recording his experiences continuously, supplementing them not only with his own illustrations, but also with contemporary photographs and postcards. After returning to his home village, Malá Udiča (today‘s Udiča, district of Považská Bystrica) he worked as a teacher.
