  12. Neka ti je vecna slava Gorane ...

    Au cours de nos campagnes lointaines,
    Affrontant la fièvre et le feu,
    Nous oublions avec nos peines
    La mort qui nous oublie si peu
    Nous, la Légion.

  24. Nije bio poreklom iz Subotice kako je gore napisao neko ko ga nije znao nego je baš Subotičanin koji je pre godinu i po dana otišao u Legiju Stranaca. Nije bio ni Srbin ni Hrvat nego Bunjevac iz Srbije. Nađite njegov Facebook nalog da saznate više o njemu.
