He spent his military service at the 16th Infantry Regiment of Besztercebánya as a machine- gunner. In the First World War he fought at the battlefields of Galicia as a corporal of the machinegunners squad of the 3rd battalion of his 16th Infantry Regiment. He smelled powder for the first time in Operation San in October. He fought in the battle of Zagórzyce near to the city of Kraków and he struggled in the victorious battle of Limanova.

He spent his Christmas Eve of 1914 in the trenches of Dobrotyn. He was captured on the first morning of 1915.
