Product Information
Specification
Austro-Hungarian Empire: Patriotic WW1 cap 
badge of the 2nd Army for the “Winter Campaign 
in the Carpathians, 1914 - 1915”. 
Signed by G. Gurschner in Vienna.
The cap badge presents KuK soldiers defending 
their entrenched position in the Carpathians on 
the Eastern Front.
During the years 1914 - 1915 the 2nd KuK Army, 
under the command of General Eduard von Bohm-
Ermolli took part in the Battle of Galizia and in the 
operations in Russian Poland. 
In Feb. 1915 the 2nd KuK Army was moved to the 
Carpathian Mountains to reinforce the 3rd KuK 
Army due to the heavy losses the later had 
suffered (losses of around 88.000 men - about 75% 
of its initial strength) . 
The 2nd KuK Army spearheaded the 2nd 
unsuccessful offensive against the Russian 
positions in an attempt to relieve the besieged 
Przemysl fortress.  
By the end of the campaign, the 2nd and 3rd 
Armies were nearly annihilated.
