FJB 21
The larger cities and garrisons were home to a variety of units. The higher commands also operated in the larger cities. Of course, the capital, Vienna, was the most significant in every respect. So all kinds of army branches were stationed here, including a field rifle battalion. This was the 21st, which belonged to the III. Corps unit according to the peacetime order.
This had already changed during mobilization. The 21st Jager were assigned to the 44th division. They fought on the Eastern Front until June 1915, and then, after Italy entered the war, on the Italian Front until June 1916. At that time, the unit was again ordered to Bukovina, and by the end of the summer they were pushed back into the Carpathians, to Máramaros. At the end of the summer they returned to the Italian front, this time to the legendary VII. Corps. They fought here until the end of the war.
