Dear Tom:

I don't know if this will help you, but I was able to get a wealth of
information about my grandfather who was also in Austro-Hungarian Army by
writing to the Military Museum/Archive in Budapest. Adress:
Hadtortenelmi Leveltar
Budapest I., Kapisztran ter 2-4
Postacim: 1250 Pf. 7.

As I just found out my grandfather had served in the Austrian-Hungarian Army
during WWI; no further details known.
I wrote to the Kriegsarchiv in Vienna, but didn't get any reply yet.

My questions to those who have had contact with the archive in Budapest:
1. What information can I expect there?
2. Can I write in English or German? Or must it be in Hungarian?
3. How long does it take to get a reply?

Any info appriciated
