It says that Snejdarek "left" the Austro-Hungarian Army. Does this mean that he deserted, was discharged, etc? V. Joe (talk) 15:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Šnejdárek was unsatisfied with the fact that there is nothing happening in Austrian army and he wrote in his autobiography, that he felt undervalued. He finished the Cadet academy as the best of the class (same in France, however he was officialy put into 3rd place, because at that time it was not feasible that a foreigner would represent the class at the graduation).
I don't know exatly how that happened, but I believe that it was honourable discharge - in his autobiography he writes that he could ask for the paperwork in A-H army (and therefore he would start in the French Legion in the same rank he was in A-H army), but he voluntarily decided to start at the bottom. At the same time all his evaluations in A-H army were excelent, apart from the vacation he spent with the Turks. I think that the main motive was being bored and at the same time he got all the inheritance after parents, so he decided to leave the army and travel around the world. If I get my hands on any concrete data I will put it into the article.Cimmerian praetor (talk) 16:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
