A refuge for wounded soldiers and officers of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the Karawanken<span> mountain range: It's the first days in November of the year 1918, shortly before the armistice between Austria-Hungary and the Allied Powers. A colonel is being buried. Officers from all parts of the Dual Monarchy are standing next to his grave. They take turns throwing earth into his open grave, saying: "Earth from Hungary. Earth from Poland, Earth from Carinthia. Slovenian Earth. Czech Earth". The shovel is passed on to </span>Dr Grun<span>, the Jewish regiment physician. After a moment of hesitation he says: "Earth from Austria". Following the ceremony the soldiers and officers leave the refuge to return to their home countries which will no longer be the same. In these words </span>Franz Theodor Csokor<span> describes the events surrounding the armistice on 3 November 1918, in a play of the same name.
