In the introduction, the author of the published material informs that the Military Exhibition of the 16th Home Guard (Patriotic) Infantry was inaugurated on 29 June 1918 in Banská Bystrica. The exhibition was installed in the rooms of the so-called small training ground of the regiment. The opening was attended by several social elites of the town of Banská Bystrica as well as the County of Zvolen, officers of the replacement battalion or the field regiment and other invited guests. The exhibition was aimed at presenting various works of art of the regiment members (active and reserve ones), originating since the outburst of the conflict. In addition, the military booty materials and other items captured at battlefields were exhibited. The central motive of this presentation was to document the so-called lived history, in this case the combat operation of the regiment and its activities in the b ackground. At the same time, the authors wanted to emphasize the unity and symbiosis of the regiment and the local (Hungarian) society. In 1918, a catalogue was published from the exhibition, in Hungarian language. The catalogue was printed in the Filip Machold Printing Works in Banská Bystrica, on a relatively low quality “war” paper. The pages of the brochure were numbered, starting with a preface. At the time, the catalogue is archived in the Central Slovakia Museum in Banská Bystrica.
