The author of the study deals with the Trenčín recruiting district 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 (LinienRegiment) and reserve (Reserve-Regiment) regiment. The occupation of Bosna in 1878 was attended by the soldiers from the reserve regiment and the pacifi cation of the Bosna resistance (1879-1882) was contributed signifi cantly by the soldiers of the line infantry regiment.
