Concerning the Education of Officers, Their Wages and the Officer Corps in the Austro-Hungarian Army with an Emphasis on Dalmatia
Tado Oršolić
Abstract
The article, as its title indicates, deals with the amount of officer’s wages and pensions, then with certain segments of officer training and finally, how, where and in what manner could individual candidates finish their training in military schools and academies. In part the article sought to investigate the reasons for the rarity of higher officers in the Austro- Hungarian army who were born in Dalmatia. The conspicious small number of higher officers in the Austro-Hungarian army is ascribed to the lack of tradition of serving in the active royal army and in part to the unsuitability of the candidates in the sense of their family origins and their social status. All of these were reasons for the markedly small numbers of officers from Dalmatia who served in the royal army. It was only at the end of the 19th century that their number somewhat increased in relation to the previous period.
