I believe records exist. This is based on what I have read and heard.

My father was in the Hungarian Army during WW 1. I was given an address in Austria that contain the military archives. They could not find any record and gave me an address in Hungary to check. I have not yet done that. I think it is easier to find records for officers than the lowly soldier. My uncle was also a prisoner of war in Russia. He never came back. One story is that he wrote for money to come home. The money was never sent so he never came home to Hungary. Another story is that he was a prisoner and no one knows whether he survived.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I don''t know about any records, though I am surre they exist/ed. No it is not unusual, my grandfather on my father's side and all his brothers - except one - too young - served in WW , the husband of one of te sisters died, one of those who served, ended up a suicide due to the pressure as an army surgeon. My grandfather on my mother''s side was prisoner in Russia, and came back a bitter man, he was fourty-eight when drafted... Onne of his brothers was also taken to Russia, and ended up in Shangai, when he got back after the war the antisemitism as a reward made him marry and go to Israel.

Dea Listers,
Would anyone know how to find information on an uncle who served in the army, in approximately 1910 ,under the Austrian Hungarian Empire. Being a Hungarian Jew, isn't it unusual to be taken into the army? Where would archives exist for researching this information? Many thanks! Kitty < brucekitty@... > N.Y. |
