I have checked my database and nope. There are no World War I
regimental histories for IR 60. There are for IR 59 (Salzburg) and IR
61 (Temesvar) - both published - and IR 67 (Eperjes - Prešov) but the
latst one is unpublished and rather short (ca. 21 pages). According to
this website the Hungarian War Archives also do not hold any material
about this unit, so I would probably directly contact Kriegsarchiv in
Vienna. They probably have fond as they have for every regiment, but I
am afraid you would need to go personally there or find someone there
to check that.

If your great uncles were killed then I would suggest you write the
Kriegsarchiv. The men who were killed, captured or wounded can be
traced through casualty books, where you would also get a date of
death, place of death, unit and other details. With that we would also
be able to say more.
