Subject: [AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN-MILITARY] Age 18 and Austrian conscription
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 13:18:31 EST
Male citizens of the A-H dual monarchy had to register and report for a
conscription physical exam when they were 19. If they were found fit to
serve they could not get a passport.
Leaving the country at 18 was a good way to avoid getting your name on a
conscription roll.
