  • Description: In this paper, the author writes about interred Serbian soldiers in the Varaždin cemetery between World War I and World War II. The data was taken from the archival books The Graveyard Records (1919-1939) and The Graveyard Records (1940-1949) kept by the municipal company Parkovi. The processed data relates to Serb soldiers born on the territory of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and were in military service in Varaždin, where they died and were buried in a local cemetery. In the period between the two world wars, soldiers in Varaždin were serving in one of the city's barracks. Of the total number of 208 deceased soldiers, 82 were Serbs. Thanks to the information in the archival books, we know their identity – name, surname, age, marital status, place of birth, and the illness from which they died. The majority of the dead soldiers, 62 percent were recruits and only one was an officer – а 78-year-old veteran of the Austro-Hungarian Army. Most of the interred soldiers died at the age of 21 or 22 and served mainly in the 36th Jelačić Infantry Regiment in Varaždin. Almost all the soldiers died in the local military hospital or in the city hospital. As for their origin, most of them (11) were born in Požarevac, five in Valjevo, four each in Gnjilane, Kruševac, Smederevo, and Užice, three in Takovo, and one or two soldiers in the other mentioned places. They died mostly from lung disease (54 percent), heart disease and gunshot wounds (seven percent), scarlet fever and meningitis (five percent), and drowning (four percent). Other diseases were recorded in a small percentage or occurred once, such as influenza, gangrene, or dysentery. In the end it should be noted that today no graves or external features suggest that soldiers of the Kingdom of SHS/Yugoslavia were buried at the Varaždin city cemetery.
