hungrian jews in the army #hungary


Herb Meyers <herbiem@...>
 

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.

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.

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?
