Franc Dular

On 11 November 1942, he became a soldier of the Pohorje Battalion. Already on 27 November of the same year, he fell at Lepenarci as one of the first soldiers from the Mislinj Valley. After returning from the internment camp, France's mother visited the grave of the fallen son on Pohorje year after year. For the widow, this journey became increasingly difficult, so the ZB (Zbor branikov) arranged for a path to be cut through to the cemetery in Šentjanž. Today, the commemorative plaques on the cemetery no longer exist; on the memorial stone, only the name of his mother remains (picture).

The memorial stone in Ribnica, from which the path was cut, still exists, but the inscription is somewhat different:

[Cross]
