"The Duke's Army"
"The Duke's Army"
A friend of mine came across a Jewish prayer from Galicia meant to be said before going before the draft board of the Austro-Hungarian Army. The document is dated around the 1890s, and it refers to the A-H Army as "The Duke's Army". Any particular reason why it would be called this?

I am nut sure, but can it be a translation/interpretation issue? If you could post a copy of the prayer in the original languages - bilingual in Hebrew and Polish/German/Yiddish, I suppose - then I could have a look at it.
