Infantry Regiment Nr. 87 from Celje, which fought in Galicia and in the Alps.

The First World War, which ended almost 90 years ago, claimed another casualty over the weekend. A 70-year-old Italian farmer, Aldo Busato, was showing a WWI bomb to a friend when it exploded, killing him instantly. His friend was seriously wounded.

Busato may be the final victim of World War I — perhaps even the last person on earth to be killed by the Austro-Hungarian army. (If the bomb, in fact, originated from them. Reuters only mentions that Busato lived in northeastern Italy, site of intense fighting between Italy and Austria-Hungary.)

This site, Austro-Hungarian Land Forces 1848-1918, has a ton of information about the now-defunct Imperial Army. This page gives you a pretty good idea of how diverse the army was, while their links page is overflowing with interesting stuff.

Finally, this page is dedicated to the 87th Infantry Regiment Freiherr von Succovaty (pictured above) which was more than 80% Slovene, and which suffered heavy casualties throughout the war, before becoming part of the new Slovenian army when the war was lost and Austria-Hungary disappeared.
