My father, Ludwig (Lajos) Eberhardt from Sanktanna was in the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I. On the back of some pictures where he was wearing his military uniform, he wrote "Klosterneuburg" (a town near Vienna, or rather a suburb of Vienna), where Pioneer Battalion # 8 was stationed. This battalion eventually became Sapper Battalion # 1 and 47, towards the end of 1917 and beginning of 1918. I know also that Alexander (Sandor) Eberhardt of Sanktanna was in Pioneer Battalion # 7. Is anyone familiar with the uniforms, badges, officers, etc., of Pioneer Battalion # 7 and 8? Were they similar to those of the infantry? Thanks in advance!

These are the surnames I am researching:

EBERHARDT of Sanktanna, Pankota, Arad, Varsand, and Mercydorf
KÖVAGO
SCHLACHSA (or Schlachka?)
GANTNER of Sanktanna, and Arad
KÄMMERLE
KARMANOCZKI (variable spelling) of Arad
TAKACS (and/or TAKATS) of Arad, and Bakoserg...
NAGY of Szekely-Ker..., and Budapest
TOMASOVITS
WIESENMAYER of Sanktanna
CSONTOS of Pankota and Arad
VRANCEA
MEDVECZKY of Pankota

Also: MAGYARI, EBERLEIN, STROHHÄCKER, GABEI, HOFMANN (of Simand?), BURGHARDT, GRUBER, RUFF, MÜLLER, STEIGBERGER, MILLICH (of Simand?).
