Commentary
Le bureau auxiliaire de guerre de la Croix Rouge d’Autriche- Hongrie a été fondé en tant qu'organisation d'aide aux soldats du front, aux invalides de guerre et aux veuves ou orphelins de guerre au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. En tant qu'organisation du ministère de la Guerre, cependant, elle est également devenu une partie de la propagande en tentant de maintenir l'euphorie de la guerre sur le front intérieur. Des souvenirs de la guerre ont été produits dans le domaine de l'art de la médaille.
The War Auxiliary Office of the Austrian-Hungarian Red Cross was founded as an aid organization for front-line soldiers, war invalids, and war widows and orphans at the outbreak of World War I. As an organization of the War Ministry, however, it also became part of the propaganda effort, attempting to maintain war euphoria on the home front. War memorabilia was produced in the field of medal art.

Historical background
AUSTRIA - FRANZ-JOSEPH I
(2/12/1848-21/11/1916)
François-Joseph I (18/081830-21/11/1916) is the son of Archduke François Charles and Sophie of Bavaria. He succeeded his uncle Ferdinand I of Austria in 1848 in the midst of the European revolution. His throne wavers in Hungary, Bohemia, Milan and Venice. It is with authority that he restores order and will reign over "Mitteleuropa" for 68 years. In 1854 he married Elisabeth of Bavaria (1837-1898), better known as Sissi. Their only son Rodolphe (1858-1890) committed suicide with his mistress in 1890 in Mayerling. Empress Sissi was assassinated in Geneva in 1898. Her nephew François-Ferdinand was assassinated with his wife in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, triggering the First World War. The old emperor died in 1916 before the carving up of his empire two years later.
