Hello,

I am reading a book "With Bosniaks in the world war", written by Pero Blaskovic, officer of Bosnian-herzegovian unit BH3 during the WWI. Pero Blaskovic was Croat from Karlovac but served as officer of BH3 in Austro-Hungarian army.

In 1937 he wrote a book, actually a diary about his war experience. It is tremendous book, explaining their route from Bosnia to Carpathians, Galizia, Dolomites and then to Isonzo. He iswriting at the end of book that in 1918, when Allies attacked Austro-Hungarian army at Isonzo, his unit fought against British, I think he said they were some Scottish unit. I can check later if there is more information, where and when did the fight take place.

Maybe you can help me to identify the British unit who fought this elite Austro-Hungarian unit in Isonzo in 1918.

If you have the place and date I'm sure we can find out who the British were. There weren't many of Scottish units sent, it shouldn't be too hard to work out which one.

ETA: probably the 7th Division which had Scottish units in it. Was Blascovic in the Austro-Hungarian 7th Division?

Hi there,

must re-read that chapter again, to tell you more information.

Diary is very detailed and you can really see the whole story of BH3 regiment from Dolomites to Galicia, then back to Isonzo front where they were captured at the end of 1918 by French unit, taken to camp in Vicenza, then to France (Toulouse, Lyon) and released only n 1919 / 1920.

I will post requested information later, no problem. I don't which division did BH3 belong to in that time, will check on that as well.

Where were Italian camps for POW in that time? I found this information about Vicenza. Anything more on this?
