The author of the published material states that in 1915, after Italy got involved in the World War I on the Alliance part and the Italian frontline originated, the Austro-Hungarian troops on the Eastern frontline started to reorganize. Within the 27th Infantry brigade, 14th Infantry division, the 71st infantry regiment was included in the 2nd army. Later on, its soldiers also got to the Italian front, fighting for example in the battle at the river Piave. The document submitted – diary of the former Infantry regiment 71 – only originated, as suggested by its title, after the World War 1 was over. The document comprises typed records from 31 July 1914 to November 1918. These records are complemented by proposals for awards for individual persons along with the description of their merits, as well as sketches and drawings of several battles. It can be assumed that the diary originated with the aim to present the operation of the 71st Infantry regiment during the war, whether through the archival fund or for purpose of its printed publication. The diary is located in the Military Archive in Vienna, in the file Archiv der Trupperkörpern.

The author of the study deals with the subsidiary district of Trenčín and allocation into the battalions of the 71st infantry regiment, which was a part of the Austrian Imperial Army in Veneto in 1860-1866. He states that a military and logistic background originated in Trenčín, used for supplementing the battalions with the crew from the county of Trenčín, Turiec and Orava. Within the Rothkirch Brigade, the battalions from Veneto were reassigned to the unit of Benedek’s Northern Army. The brigade was covering the retreat of the Austrian forces, with open battles bursting at Tovačov, where the Trenčín regiment recorded high losses. In the 1870’s, the regiment consisted of six battalions included in the so called line (Linien-Regiment) and reserve (Reserve-Regiment) regiment. The occupation of Bosna in 1878 was attended by the soldiers from the reserve regiment and the pacification of the Bosna resistance (1879-1882) was contributed significantly by the soldiers of the 71st infantry regiment.

In the published article, the author addresses the beginnings of the military career of Michal Lokšík. According to the study, he came from a modest background of Slovaks living in Vienna. He studied at the cadet school in Innsbruck and Prague. As the officer of the 71st Infantry Regiment on the Russian front, he was awarded three honours in five months. On the13th September 1915, he fell captive and only returned in February 1918. In December, he joined the Czechoslovak Army and actively participated in the fights against the Hungarian Bolsheviks. After the battles at Kisterenye, with the remains of the 2nd battalion, he retreated and fought at Tornaľa where the regiment commander, Cpt. Stuchlík, fell. The regiment was reduced to a single battalion and Lokšík became its commander since 15th June 1919. Through the bypass manoeuvre at Rožňava, he contributed significantly to the defeat of the Bolshevik army, for which he was decorated with the CSL War Cross. Later, he was allocated under General Hennocque and served also as the personal aide of General Paris. Since 30 January, he worked at the intelligence department (2nd Bureau) of the District Military Headquarters for Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia. In spite of the requirements of the French military mission to be promoted to a Captain, he was relocated to the 29th regiment by an order. However, he never entered the service, returning to his home Vienna. As an Austrian citizen, wrongly recruited to the CSL Army, he was acquitted from the desertion charges by the court. Lokšík perceived the relocation to the Czech regiment as a plot of the legionary command, which was also the reason of his later political radicalisation. The author also states that there is a Czech translation of a letter from General Paris in Lokšík’s estate, with Lokšík’s own handwritten notes in German. The letter is enclosed as an attachment. The document is interesting also due to the fact that Lokšík did not write any memoirs about his abundant military intelligence activity and did not leave any private diary behind. The lesser known facts about the early days of Lokšík’s military career were not evaluated sufficiently even in the newer historical literature.

Recognition of the heraldic decoration on the portrait of a hitherto unknown man wearing a cuirass clarifies the identification of the bearer of the coat of arms as well as the activities of his contemporaries—officers in the Imperial Army regiments in the early 18th century. In the portrait galleries of the Slovak museum collections there are two preserved images of men—officers of the Minckwitz family, in the Slovak National Museum in Martin and in the Museum in Svätý Anton. One of them fought in Field Marshal General Nicholas Pálfi’s Infantry Regiment, the other in Baron Seherr von Thoss’s Cuirassier Regiment. The Minckwitz family came from Saxony, but also settled in what is now the Czech Republic. They arrived in Slovakia thanks to marriages, and probably that is why the studied portraits of men in cuirasses have been preserved in the torso of the Révai family gallery.

The author deals with the general situation on the frontline in the autumn of 1917, when the Italian troops retreated behind the Piava River after the defeat at Kobarida. In the spring of 1918, the Austro-Hungarian key command of the Army started preparing the new offensive, starting from 15 June 1918. Within the 14th infantry division, the operation was also attended by the 71st infantry regiment, where a lot of Slovaks were fighting. Its activity was captured in the war journal deposited in the Military Archive in Vienna. The published part of the journal is delimited by the dates of 15 June to 22 June 1918, when the Austro-Hungarian units retreated after the failure of the offensive.
