Grave of Jože Trdan, Prigorica
—
As the unit moved within the composition of Šercer's brigade from Rakitnica towards Kočevje, it encountered an ambush near Francozova Valley at Jasnica. This ambush was composed of Germans and home guards. They successfully crept up along the old road from Ribnica to Kočevje, in Ložinah, and surprised the partisans. Jože Trdan was the assistant gunner, whose gun was carried by Tone Oražem. Both were from Dolenja vas, and Jože was one of the victims of this event.
Note: Francozova Valley is a place where a French soldier was killed during the French occupation, along the old macadam road through Jasnica.
