Zusammenfassung: Abstract: The image of the soldier underwent profound change from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries, linked to the industrialisation of warfare and the closer connection between the conflict and the community at home. This new type of mass warfare was increasingly difficult to reconcile with the traditional conception of the war hero. Notions of the heroic also changed in response to the political and economic conditions of the emerging modern era. The First World War ultimately represented a watershed in which the figure of the soldierly hero and its relation to modernity were renegotiated
