WWI required a significant blood sacrifice in 1914-1918 in Europe. The soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy were not exception. The population of Kunszentmárton enrolled almost entirely after the war broke out and Franz Joseph declared mobilization. They fought in the first battles in Serbia. The deceased are commemorated by a marble tablet on the wall of a Roman Catholic Church as well as a memorial statue erected on the Main Square. These memorials are proves that the town of Kunszentmárton gave her own blood to the war.
