Tuesday 28th July, 1914: Austria declares war on Serbia, thus sparking off the First World War. LW is at the Hochreit with his brother Paul, their sisters and their mother when they get the news (Waugh, p.68). They then rush back to Vienna (Waugh, p.68). LW, who had avoided Austria’s compulsory conscription, initially tries to leave Austria, for Norway, but is prevented from doing so, and volunteers for civilian duties instead (Monk, p.111; Waugh, pp.68-9).
