As you may have heard the cities of Kobarid (Caporetto) and Bovec (Flitsch, Plezzo) were on Monday 12. July hit by a 4.7 degrees strong earthquake. Over 400 houses were damaged and one hiker died under the falling rocks. Many buildings were damaged so severely that had to be evacuated and their inhabitants were left without a roof over their heads. Among those hit by the earthquake is also our comrade Ales Lipovec, a member of the 1313 re-enactment association. An apartment block where Ales has lived with his parents has suffered severe structural damage and is marked for demolition. His friends are storing their furniture while they found temporary sheltering in a holiday cottage. We, the members of IR87 Association and IR17 Group, have decided to collect some symbolic aid and send it to Ales. We are appealing to all the members of similar association or even just friends of military history to do likewise and send an expression of solidarity or some material aid to Ales on his address:
