Austria-Hungary military map Sarajevo 1915

[Iver]

hello..

got this military map of Sarajevo from 1915, texts on the map are:

KuK Komanndo FML Šnjarič - Uebersicht der gut fahrbaren Verbindungen und der rekognoszierten Wege

Die gut fahrbaren Komunkationen sind in roter, die rekognoszierten Wege in brauner Farbe dargestellt - Sarajevo, am 24. März 1915

...can someone write me more about that unit (probably a division?). And about FML Šnjarič. Sounds croatian?

thanks

Iver

In March of 1915 he was the commander of the k.u.k .59 ID. Promoted to General der Infanterie 1918.05.01. After the war he retired, and died in Romania in 1930.
