The day will come when the wounds of this war begin to close and heal, and when that day comes a better future will dawn.
The Austrian armies went forth in the hour of war to save Austria.
They have not availed to save it.

But if out of this ocean of blood and suffering a better, freer and nobler world arise, then they will not have died in vain, all those we loved who now lie buried in cold alien earth; they died for the happiness, the peace and the future of the generations to come.
