History
In 1866, the battle was fought between the Habsburg Empire and Italy, with the former winning the battle near the Italian town of Custozza. The battle also involved the 50th Infantry Regiment from Gyulafervár. The victory allowed the Habsburgs to hold Veneto and South Tyrol. In 1906, on the 40th anniversary of the battle, Austrian officers decided to erect a monument to the 133 soldiers and officers (mostly Hungarian and Vlach soldiers) who had fallen.
