Free word dec. 2022, page 11

On 2nd and 3rd April 1945, a marching unit called the Kozjanska Group was established above the village of Puste Ložice on Bohor. It was composed of two battalions of the detachment and the battalion of the Kozjanska military area. After a one-month and 600 km long march across Croatia, the unit arrived in Prekmurje. Here, experienced fighters of the 3rd battalion of the Kozjanska Group participated in the establishment of city commands in liberated Prekmurje and still-occupied Styria. During the march, near the village of Prepolno near Zelina, on 10th April 1945, eight fighters and a comrade of the Kozjanska Detachment fell in battle with the Ustaše. They were buried at the nearby Bedenica cemetery.
