Good morning everybody,

I think some men might have been recruited into a different Regiment than the "local" Czernowitz one, for various reasons. Judging by the men in my family, I would assume profession to have been a possible reason. Another good reason might have been that some fled to other places on the eve of WWI - e.g. Vienna - and were drafted there.

The reasons for my assumptions are:

1. My great-grandfather Dr. Abraham TAMLER, born 1876, lawyer, from Zastawna - served in the Landsturmbezirkskommando No. 22 in 1914, then No. 39, and ended up at the Divisionsgericht (for which I do not have a number). He got as far as Belluno.

2. Abraham's younger brother, Isaac (Isidor) TAMLER, born 1881, notary, living in Putila, served in the Dragonerregiment Erzherzog Albrecht No. 9.

3. My great-great-uncle Rudolf NEUMANN, born 1895, student - when the war started he "jumped" over the border into Romania, was sent back, "jumped" into Hungary and enlisted with a cavalry regiment there - but as he could not bring his own horse (for obvious reasons) he went to Vienna to join his family which had fled to there from Zastawna. Rudi was drafted in March 1915 into the Landwehrinfanterieregiment No. 36. He was on the Russian front and on the Italian front.

It is unfortunate the the Military Archives in Vienna (the Kriegsarchiv) only have files on soldiers / officers who were decorated - the regular files of all regions which Austria lost after the war were given to the countries to which these regions belonged. And I have no idea what Romania did with these holdings. But if there is even the slightest chance of a relative of yours to have received a medal - even as a group, not as an individual (I have a case like this in the family), it is worth sending a search request to the Kriegsarchiv. Depending on the amount of information you can provide they will provide a cost estimate (the maximum I had to pay for an extensive search was ca. 120 Euros). I received copies of all the "Belohnungsantraege" they could find and these contained some very detailed information - so in my case, the effort was well worth it.

My two cents :-)

Kind regards,
