Hey, HerrConstantin!

Let me be the first to welcome You here! These are truly great photos and family legacy, especially that tag with (if I'm not wrong) medical card. I tried to read it, but with no success. Can You do it for us? Was your great-uncle's name Dušan?

As You wrote, it is hard to get accurate info about those days.

I believe that You red my post from two years ago. Meanwhile, I've manage to find out that my grandfather's first daughter name was Olivera, and that she didn't died during bombardment of Belgrade, but couple days later from the wounds. Besides, it turns out that his first wife also survive the bombardment and even managed somehow to survive the war, but died shortly after from tuberculosis.

The grandfather himself was never speak about those days. They told me that, receiving the news of his daughter's death, his hair got grey over one night. I was under 12 when he passed away, and I remember him as a tall man with strong and unbelievably white hair.

Once again, welcome, and I hope that we'll hear more from You!
Greetings from Serbia, Vuk

Hello,

Hvala for the welcome!

Yes his name was Eftici Dusan. In some papers my family was reffered as Ieftin and in some papers as Eftici. I'm half Serbian by dad but not Serbian from Serbia. Serbs living in Banat actually.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather's daughter

The medical chart reads

Name: Efitici
First Name: Dusan
Rank: Soldier
Registration number:
Contingent: 1942
Diagnostic: I can't read that part cleary it says something like "tangential wound by machinegun bullets scapular region" something like this

Then it says the dose of antitetanus
What kind of interventions were used
The mdeic which made the chart
Where was he part of (16th mountain hunters Batallion)
When he was injured and what hour

Thank You for the kind words, Constantin, and thanks for reading to us your great-uncles medical chart.

Interesting, his last name Eftici/Eftin... In Serbia, there are surnames Jeftić, Jevtić, Jeftin, Jevtin. Basically, Serbs with those names could be your distant relatives.

I know about Serbs in Romanian part of Banat. Did You know that in Serbia there's a region also named Banat? It is located in between rivers Tisa on west and Danube on south, and Romanian-Serbian border on east. I got some good friends there in city of Zrenjanin.

All the best, Vuk

His siter (my grandma, she is about 70+) and her sister (my great-aunt, she is 86) as far as I remember they have their maiden name Ieftin. In some papers my family is reffered as Ieftin and in some as Ieftici or Eftici.

Yes, I know about the Serbian part, I like to study the history of Banat That's because after hard negociations Banat was split between Romania, Serbia and Hungary at the end of WW1
2/3 for Romania 1/3 for Serbia and a small part for Hungary.
You can find here a multi-ethnical community living in peace (romanians, serbs, hungarians, svabs, gypsies, and jews before WW2)

The tiles of both my vacation houses are made in Kikinda btw
