collection began in 1916 in a sub-group of Department 10/War Economy of the Imperial and Royal War
Ministry. For the purposes of continuing the work, the department of the War Press Bureau also designated
the ‘Soldiers’ Song Headquarters’ was attached. Its staff extended their work to the prisoner of war camps,
where, for example, songs of Russian prisoners (Mingrelian, Abkhazian, Ossetian, Mordvinic and other
songs) were recorded using phonographs. After the war, a substantial part of the collections was lost.

General Wodniansky, it states (p. 200) : ‘Out of desperation, the divisional commander, MG Baron v[on]
Wodniansky, gave himself to death.’

544 Consequently, the General should have appeared on one of the plaques that were mounted in the pan-
theon in the Military History Museum in Vienna and should recall the colonels and generals who fell
in battle or succumbed to their wounds between 1618 and 1918. Wodniansky is missing.
