opis priča || Ivan Jozić iz Goranaca je mobiliziran 1914. Tada je zvono sa goranačke crkve pretopljeno u oružje. Jozić je odveden na fron blizu Đera u jedinici gdje su bili samo Hercegovci. Ubrzo je raspoređen na front u Galiciju. Tu je dospio u rusko zarobljeništvo. Jozić je pričao kako je bilo u zarobljeništvu. Duga kolona zarobljenika je cijeli dan hodala bez stajanja, a ako netko posrne pretuku ga pa su se zarobljenici međusobno pridržavali i nosili jedmi druge. Neke su padali od iscrplejnosti, pa su odmah na njima sastalno nekoliko kundaka i bajoneta. Potrpani su u živinske vagone. Vlak je nekada jurio,a nek stajao, okopriliki 10 do 12 dana. Niko nije znao koliko su u vagonima, svi su različito govorili. Samo smo par puta izlazili vani da se uglavnom da se iznesu mrtvi. Godinu dana su radili u nekoj šumi. JEdnog dana su i postrojili i neka gospoda ih ej birala jednog po jednoga. Završio je kod nekog feudalca i zadužen za nekoliko konja za kola i još neke poslove osim štale. U Rusiji je u to vrijeme bilo puno udovica, pa su zarobljenike uporno ubjeđivali da prihvate potpunu slobodu pod uvjetom da se vjenčaju s nekom od udovica s djecom. Neki su prihvatili. Ivana je kući čekala žena s četvero djece i on je ponavljao da je već jednom stavio ruku na križ. Ivan je nagovarao svog prijatelja Jozu da bježe, te su se jedne noći iskrali sa imanja. Hodali su i lutali desetak dana, nigdje nikoga. Kad su ugledali neko mongolsko naselje, uplašili su se pod utjecajme stravičnih priča o mongolima i vratili se nazad. Pet godina je još proveo na svom starome poslu i dobio je šamar od naglednika. 1921. godine bježi sa toga imanja. Usput se pojavila kuga od koje je stradao njegov prijatelj. U spomoć veće sume novca Ivan je dobio neku propusnicu. Vojska nije dozvoljavala nikakva putovanja, osim prema Sibiru. Putovao je sa stokom, uvlačio se pod balvane, vezao se remenje za travrzne ispod vagona. Jednom mu je pomoglo kilo duhana, jednom novac,a jednom je udarcem onesvijestio vojnika. Jednom se sav istačkao jednom bojom i vikao da je kužan, al je morao bježati jer su pritom na njega pucali. Na Dunav je doašo vezan ispod vagona. Od Sibira do Drežnice Ivan je putovao dva mjeseca. Njegova žena je u međuvremenu primila životno osiguranje za muža jer je austrougraska odredila 7 godina kao rok u kojem se može zatražiti osiguranje za poginulog vojnika. Kako se nije javljao 7 godina, smatralo se da je umro. Kod kuće su djeca stalno bježala od njega jer ga nisu prepoznala.
