If I am not asking too much (and I probably am), would someone who knows Hungarian go to http://www.hadifogoly.adatbanyaszat.hu/ and type the name Geza Szaz into the appropriate box or boxes and let me know what it says? Geza Szaz was born on January 22, 1895. This site was sent to the list by Joseph Nemeth, who wrote that Hungarian POWs and KIAs are listed on the site. If any Hungarian soldier was a POW and should be listed on the site, it was Geza Szaz, who was captured by the Russians in both World Wars. He spent two years in a Soviet prison camp during World War II and lived only a short time after being released due to the very bad treatment he received there. Thank you. Jayne perllan987@aol.com

Hello Mary Ellen: The name of the book is: (I am not using diacritical marks): "Toredekek eves Emigrationalis Elmenyeimbol". It is 97 pages long and in Hungarian language. Publication is Nag-Szolls, Szekely Simon Kiadasa, Year 1890. It is described as telling about political refugees.....Hungarians in USA. It is also a Hungarian History of years 1849-1867 - personal narratives. One library in the United States has it and that is Columbia University Library in NYC. Contact your local library where you live and they can do an interlibrary loan for you. It normally costs just a few dollars and you can usually have it for two weeks or more. If you need more information from me, please contact me. Good Luck. Right now I have a book in German about Friedrich III of Sayn-Kyrburg on loan from the Georgetown University Library in Wash. DC. I live in Texas.

Agreed, it is off topic but enhances Zagonyi's expertise: ZAGONYI, a veteran of the 1848 revolutions in Hungary, was a specialist in horse riding and military cavalry. He personally picked every single horse for the Body Guard, and interviewed every man, before accepting them. During training, he drove the men and horses hard, and they became one of the most precise, disciplined units in the Army of the West. On many occasions, they were called out on emergencies all over St.Louis for various military and police actions. Excerpted from: http://www.missouricivilwarmuseum.org/maurath-denis.htm Excerpted and edited via redactions by myself from the above site: Amazingly, only 18 members of the Body Guard were killed in "Zagonyi's Charge", (redaction) Their bodies were brought to the new Courthouse in downtown Springfield, and laid out side by side in a makeshift morgue in the basement of the building. (redaction) The killed members of the Body Guard were buried the following Monday in an elaborate ceremony with full military honors. They were buried 800 yards from the new courthouse in the old city cemetery, and their graves were marked with wooden markers. Six years later, in 1867, when the National Cemetery was created in Springfield, their bodies were removed there, and their graves marked "Unknown Soldier - Fremont's Body Guard". The wooden grave markers had deteriorated beyond recognition.

They should be (I assume) the same for most years the yearbooks are available on the Net: http://www.hm-him.hu/hadt.php3?page=300 I uploaded three .jpg files to MyFamily web site http://www.myfamily.com/isapi.dll?c=home&htx=loginfront : The title page; the abbreviation page and the medal page Sorry it took me so long ...

I do not know about that, but there is a current newspaper, The Magyar News, which is published montly for an annual cost of $12. The editor keeps everyone informed regarding present day politics and happenings in Hungary, and to Hungarian people, as well as always having historical articles that educate and inform. If anyone is interested in subscribing, they can write to the editor, Joseph Balogh, at 12 Tyrone Place, Stratford, Ct. and subscribe.
