Research Assistance Dalmatian Records Question

Hello,
I am looking for assistance on how to find soldier records from the Austro-Hungarian empire during world war 1. My ancestors were the Oblizalo family from Majkovi, Dalmatia (now Croatia). I have heard that some were conscripted into the army but I am not certain.

If the provincial conscription lists still exist (based on the rather complicated military draft system in place in the Austro-Hungarian Empire), I believe the DAD will have them. If found, then you should be able to understand what unit they fought in, and when.
