Fran Galović

Died in 1914

Fran Galović was born in 1887 in Peteranec, near Koprivnica, the only son of a well-off peasant. He attended school in Zagreb, took his baccalaureate there in 1906 and enrolled in Slavic languages and classical philology. An activist in a liberal and nationalist youth movement, whose journal he edited, he was expelled from the university after a strike and spent a semester in Prague in 1908. Admitted in 1913, he taught at a secondary school in Zagreb. He left seventeen plays, short stories and poems. Mobilised in the autumn of 1914 as a reserve cadet, he was killed on 26 October in Serbia, at twenty-seven.
