Stolmr Gza was a family man with a three and one year old daughter. At 36, he was well into his banking career at Moktr Bank, in Budapest. He lived in the city and had a cottage in Domonyvlgy. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 June in Sarajevo, all that changed. Sarajevo, ethnically Bosnian, was in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914. The Great War, today called WW1, was about to burst upon Europe and even further afield. By the time it ended, 9 million military and 8 million civilians had died. The war was between the Allies or "Etente" vs The Central Powers.
A faithful patriot of Hungary, Stolmr Gza spent one year in the cadets before the war. He enlisted in the Military by the end of the summer of 1914. He was promptly sent to Galacia, today's western corner of Ukraine. For the next three years or so, he was a Commander of a group of 100 to 200 men called sappers. He was typically at or near the front lines in today's Ukraine, fighting the Russians. This area was also part of Austro-Hungarian territory. His men built army roads, railway, bridges and miles and miles of trenches.
For the last few months of WW1 he was stationed in Italy, in Northern Italy, south of Tyrol, which was also part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918.
