transcription:
At the time of the outbreak of World War I was nine years old. And I knew that it was advertised to the general approval. I do not want to tell something that I've only read later, I read in the story. But then we learned that from our middle school the first volunteers, who were engaged, have fallen. I was there, though like the first Kufsteiner adorned with flowers, put yourself in the snap single flowers - as they are from the Upper town square marched down to the Lower town square of Kufstein, across the bridge to the train station. And as the people cheered and pelted soldiers with flowers that still has, which are then driven away. In general, it was so that I have heard that the adults - including my father, who was an old Social Democrat, since his youth - that they were all convinced we will win this war soon. "Serbia has the most bien!", It was then called in Kufstein in chorus, for Serbia because yes, the war has begun at that time.
