Soldier of the Austro-Hungarian Army, officer of the Czechoslovak Army (1918-1939), commander of Infantry Regiment 3 and Motorized Regiment 20 on the Eastern Front, commander of the 1st Division of the so-called Eastern Slovak Army, commander of the IV and later III Tactical Group during the SNP.

One of the most capable commanding officers of Austria-Hungary. He was considered by other officers to be very careful and defeatist, which they often blamed. However, this criticism was unfounded, as Svetozár Boroevič von Bojna was one of the few officers in Austria-Hungary who saw things as they really were and did not form unrealistic ideas, as was often seen of other commanding officers during the First World War.

The tank has been manufactured since 1939. Its armament consisted of a 20mm cannon Breda model 35 and with it coupled 8mm machine gun Breda model 38. The supply of ammunition was 296 pieces of 20mm rounds and 1560 rounds for the machine gun. At the time when the L6 / 40 was introduced into service, it represented the equivalent of the German PzKpfw II. This tank was used mainly by reconnaissance and cavalry divisions. A total of 283 vehicles were produced.

In March 1915, fierce fighting took place around the village of Výrava. The Russian army repeatedly tried to break through the Austro-Hungarian troops between the villages of Výrava and Svetlice. The fierce and destructive fighting, which could lead to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian front, brought heavy losses to both warring parties. The result is also three military cemeteries located in the cadastre of the village Výrava. These three military cemeteries from the First World War are among the most interesting in the district of Medzilaborce. In the archival materials, these military cemeteries are referred to as Vyrava - Pod Kudrovcom, Vyrava - elevation 600 and Vyrava - Pod Kobylou. Data on the number of fallen soldiers buried in these military cemeteries are not accurate. Approximately 2688 fallen soldiers are buried in the Pod Kudrovcom locality. Over 636 fallen soldiers are buried in the military cemetery at the elevation of 600, and in the Pod Kobylou locality the number of fallen soldiers buried ranges from 300 to 418 victims. Last year, the gradual reconstruction of these military cemeteries began.
