 The author of the published study portrays the destiny of an interesting representative of the Austro-Hungarian Army – Franz Hill (1859 – 1914). Franz Hill served in the rank of Colonel, commanding the 16th Home Guard (Honved) Infantry Regiment in Banská Bystrica from 18 April 1912 to 29 August 1914. Although the officer was not of Slovak origin, he deserves a place in Slovakia’s military history. For a long time he served with the military units that were replenished by Slovak soldiers. He perished at the beginning of WWI during the Battle of Komarów.

Key words: Military History. Austro-Hungaria. Slovakia. WWI. Military Personalities. Franz Hill.
