Unveiled in honor of 450 Hungarian soldiers killed in action during World War I, the memorial plaque was erected by the Hungarian Ministry of Defence and the Embassy of Hungary in Zagreb on the initiative of President of Hungary János Áder, who visited Zagreb last year and went to the cemetery together with Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic to pay tribute to the Hungarian soldiers. Altogether 3697 of the troops wounded in the First World War died in Zagreb hospitals. Of them, 3297 are buried in a common grave of Mirogoj Cemetery: more than 1000 Croatian, 450 Hungarian, 110 Austrian and 330 Serbian soldiers. The exact number of the Czech, Slovenian, Bosnian, Romanian and Montenegrin victims remains unknown to the present day.
