The “Tyrolean Book of Honor” of the fallen soldiers of the First World War is now available online. According to information released Monday by the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum, a research team commissioned by the State of Tyrol digitized data on nearly 24,000 individuals.

The internet access should make it possible to quickly and easily find information on missing persons and those killed in the First World War. The “Books of Honor” comprise a total of 158 volumes. 120 volumes alone relate to the First World War.

In addition to biographical data such as birth and death dates, they also contain death and memorial photographs, and in some cases even field post letters or brief biographies. Part of the Book of Honor is located in the State Memorial Chapel in the “Tyrol Panorama” with the Kaiserjäger Museum. The other originals are kept in the Tyrolean State Archives.
