I recently wrote to an Austrian genealogist with a specialty in the military archives, Johann Hammer, about attempting to locate the WW I military service record of my grandfather who was >from Szabadka Hungary (now Serbia.) I had heard all of the records were in the Austrian military Archives in Vienna. The genealogist wrote back.This is his response. Â

The Austrian War Archives hold personnel files only for soldiers who are born after 1865 in the territory of present-day Austria. Files of soldiers born after 1865 outside the territory of present-day Austria remained in the successor states of the Monarchy. Unfortunately, most of those files were destroyed after WWI.

To H-SIG members: I am requesting help and resources that might help me uncover details of my great-uncle's military service during WWI. I have no idea where in the Austro-Hungarian Empire he may have served, but I know he was living in Fiume (Rijeka) at the time of his conscription and served in the army >from 1914-1919. I have been told by other family members that he died in 1922 of wounds originally sustained in the war. I was wondering if Austro-Hungarian military records >from that time and place are available to researchers and if there may be hospital records that were kept >from that period.
