Frank Darveniza remembered as one of 88 war heroes of Slav descent AS Australia commemorated ANZAC Day in a very different way this year, it is fitting we pay tribute to one of the forgotten war heroes of World War I, former Innisfail cane farmer Frank (Frano) Darveniza who was one of 88 soldiers of Slav descent who served in Serbia. In early 2019, Collette Ross, Darveniza's grand-daughter delivered a speech at the Australian War Memorial in the presence of the then Director of Australian War Memorial Dr Brendan Nelson AO. Ross represented the 88 Australian men of Slav heritage who volunteered to fight for the Serbian army on the Salonika Front in WW1 and was part of a delegation of relatives of those who had served in Serbia/Salonika in WW1. Delegation members were: Margaret Brown, David Bye, Collette Ross, Dr Brendan Nelson AO, Bojan Pajic, Margaret Francis, Kathy Hancock, and HE Mr Miroljub Petrovic, Ambassador of Serbia.
