SLOVENSKI SPOMIN NA SOŠKO FRONTO

Povzetek Slovenski vojak na soški fronti je imaginarna celota, ki jo sestavljajo zelo različni ljudje po narodnosti Slovenci z različnimi vojaškimi položaji, doživetji in stališči do vojne, države ter celo domovine. Take omejitve je v spoznavnem procesu o položaju in čustvovanju slovenskega vojaka nujno treba upoštevati, da ne posplošujemo posamičnih izkušenj in zaradi strukture virov na zapadamo v motivacijske ter propagandne vzorce tedanje dobe. Kljub temu je mogoče sklepati, da je slovenski vojak prenašal in doživljal vse tegobe vojaškega življenja, značilne za bojevanje na razmeroma stabilnih frontnih črtah, v jarkih in kazematah, med pogostim topniškim obstreljevanjem ter bojevanjem iz bližine. Slovenskega vojaka je posebej opredeljeval njegov odnos do ožje domovine, ki jo je razumel kot Slovenijo ali Kranjsko, Koroško oziroma Štajersko. Ta okoliščina je pri večini slovenskih vojakov prispevala k bolj osebnemu odnosu do bojevanja na soški fronti, k lažjemu prenašanju težav življenja in bojevanja na prvi bojni črti ter k višji bojni morali. Ključne besede: soška fronta, vojaki, bojna morala, prva svetovna vojna.   Abstract Slovenian soldiers on the Isonzo Front are an imaginary whole composed of very different people of Slovenian nationality with various military positions, experiences and viewpoints regarding the war, the state or even their homeland. In the cognitive process concerning the position and emotional expression of Slovenian soldiers, such restrictions should be taken into serious consideration not to overgeneralise individual experiences and fall into motivational and propaganda patterns of the era due to the structure of resources. Nevertheless, it is possible to conclude that Slovenian soldiers have dealt with and experienced in entirety the hardship of military life characteristic of the combat on relatively stable front lines, in trenches and pillboxes, during frequent gun shooting and close combat. Slovenian soldiers were especially defined by their attitude towards their close homeland, which comprised Slovenia or Carniola, Carinthia and Styria. With the majority of Slovenian soldiers, this circumstance contributed to a more personal attitude towards their enagagement in the Battles of the Isonzo. It also helped them in overcoming the hardship of life and front line combat and to develop a higher combat morale. Key words: Isonzo Front, soldiers, combat morale, First World War.
