Čudnić

Čúdnić is left (relatively short) tributary of Vrbanja river. It flows besides to the Panići village and empties into the same-named settlement (Čudić) in the village of Kruševo Brdo, below Arapovo brdo (Arab's hill). It springs on that part of the SE slopes of the Undervlašić's plateau, above which is Ilomska and its tributaries. The spring is on riverhed with the Kovačevića potok (Kovaćevići's creek) and Ćorkovac.[1][2] Watercourse is very steep and fast; in the local population's constant belief that in Čudnić are flowing over a part of the water of the Ilomska confluence.[3][4]

In World War II, during the so-called "6th Enemy Offensive (1943/1944), the partisans are established 12th Division's hospital, near Šiprage. After multiple bombing of (only 3 km) neighbouring Šiprage, about 600 injured and sicks partisans are displaced to Čudnić village and other surrarounding settlements (January 4, 1944). After the departure of Germans and Chetniks units, this "mobile hospital" quickly returned to Šiprage (January 15, 1944).[5][6]

Later, after the War, the skeleton remains of dead partisans were (from the primary's graves in the forest), moved to a Memorial Partisan Cemetery in Šiprage (locality: Zagradine ).

During the past War in Bosnia (1992 – 1995), all the Bosniaks villages around Čudnić were destroyed, and their civilian inhabitants were killed and displaced, as well as those from all the Bosniaks and Croats village to the Vrbanja's mouth (in Vrbas).[7][8][9][10][11]
