When I woke up, perhaps it was five in the morning of the 17th May.
-
There was a huge plate of fried eggs waiting for me.
-
I ate, we said farewell and I continued on to Zagreb.
-
But when I arrived in Zagreb, the brigade was no longer there in Maksimir. I was still on that bicycle.

I reported to general headquarters in Belgrade and I spent some time there, a week or two, or even a month.

Then I was sent to the headquarters of the 1st regiment in Nis.

I arrived there and was in the 'personnel department'.

-
So that’s how it came to be that I was in the 1st regiment up until November 1945.

-
When I arrived I went and found my mother. Then this man had to bring us across because the bridge was down.
-
It had been burned. He brought us across and my mother and I, me with my stolen bicycle and she with hers,
-
headed up through the Zadrecka valley. It’s about eight kilometers uphill.
