History
The monument to the fallen in Radošovce with a composition of several sculptures was designed and built by the stone company Sojáka from Strážnice. Photo medallions, of which only a few have survived to this day, supplemented the menoslov of soldiers from the village who fell on the battlefields of the First World War. The same photo is associated with the names of Michal Pollák and Stanislav Tokoš. Apparently, it will not be a mistake, because it is not an isolated phenomenon and it also occurs on other monuments to the fallen.

Monument to those who died in the world wars

The monument to the fallen in Radošovce with a composition of several sculptures was designed and built by the stone company Sojáka from Strážnice. Photo medallions, of which only a few have survived to this day, supplemented the menoslov of soldiers from the village who fell on the battlefields of the First World War. The same photo is associated with the names of Michal Pollák and Stanislav Tokoš. Apparently, it will not be a mistake, because it is not an isolated phenomenon and it also occurs on other monuments to the fallen.

A memorial plaque to the victims of the Second World War from Radošovice is part of the monument to the fallen in the village. Five soldiers with photo medallions are recorded on it. Among them, the brothers Štefan and Tomáš Kudláč are buried in the cemetery in the village in a common grave. Slovak army soldier Tomáš Hluchý died on May 12, 1942 on the Eastern Front. In a separate part of the board, there is a menoslo of the victims from the ranks of civilians. Matúš Mikula and Štefan Sasinek, who have a common memorial plaque in the village, died after shelling the village, as well as the children Vlasta Kubová and Anton Kuba. Another victim was Jozef Mikula, who was transporting cargo for Soviet soldiers to Moravia on a rickshaw, and Vendelín Morávek, who was shot by a Soviet soldier in an argument during a threshing in the summer.

There are 22 names of soldiers on the memorial board, fourteen of whom were firefighters. The fire department in the village was restored in 1927 and already in the following year organized an unsuccessful public collection for the intended monument to the fallen. The firemen came back to the idea in 1936, when they made a commitment to build a monument to the fallen for the 10th anniversary of the foundation of the corps and started a new collection. They managed to import the expected 17 thousand crowns a little later. The monument to the fallen was thus unveiled only in 1938 on the 20th anniversary of the end of the war and the establishment of the republic. After 1945, a commemorative plaque was placed on the monument with the names of victims from the village in World War II. In 2012, Jozef Šimek from the village had the monument restored.
